Question Application To Randomize Pictures

Hi people. I have a little question. I use Windows Vista. And in Vista, you can have the **screensaver use a certain folder (pictures inside the folder). That exactly what I have it doing. This folder is big, it has over 700 pictures in it. My problem is, I want to find an application that will shuffle them very good in that folder. I had selected it to use "Random" theme already. But it doesn't randomize enough. I want to randomize them myself + leave this feature on. I don't want any FREE programs, only if they are very good and you recommend them from a personal experience. Otherwise paid are good for me too. Thank You!!

ilya,

Have a look at this:
Animated photo slideshow screensaver: Random Photo Screensaver - Donationware with free 30 day trail

It should fulfill your requirements

I pointed my screensaver to use the files from "that" folder. But the pictures are in some kind of an order.

Hi ilya,

I don't think this will be possible with the Windows Vista Photos screensaver, changing the order that you view the pictures in Windows Explorer is unlikely to have an effect on the order that the screensaver selects them.

It looks like you will have to use an alternative screensaver, like Crush suggested.
