Slide Show Screen Saver

The Slide Show Screen Saver shows images (in JPEG, GIF, PNG, and BMP format) and plays sound files (MP3, WAV, and MIDI) from a designated directory, either in random order or alphabetically by file name. A variety of options allow scripting slide shows and an accompanying sound track. Both a ready-to-install 32-bit screen saver for Windows 95/98/Me and NT/2000/XP and source code are available. New release 2.0 allows Internet shortcuts (.url files) to be included in slide directories, permitting the inclusion of dynamic images and sounds from the Web in slide shows, improves randomisation when in “shuffle play” mode, and saves preferences in the registry individually for each user.
