12 Megapixel Photoframe

Included with Microsoft Windows XP comes a "My Pictures" screen saver. I always liked this screen-saver because it randomly shows pictures from a configured folder. There are some other configuration options where I selected the optiomal configuration for full-screen pictures.



The screen saver executable is called "ssmypics.scr" and is located in the System32 folder of the Windows folder. I'm going to use a Windows 2003 server for the terminals through Remote Desktop. Since Windows 2003 does not have this screen saver installed, I just copied the single file into the System32 folder of the server and voia; the screen saver is now installed.

I found out that for each user the settings can be different. Because my terminals will log-in using a different user, I set the settings for the screen saver correctly by loggin in with the correct username.

I've also set the screen saver as default screen-saver and with a timeout of 1 minute. When a remote desktop session is started, the screen saver should kick in after a minute of inactivity and start showing pictures!

Now to configure the Eizo 630L-N terminals...
