    Truly random screen savers


    I use the Firehand Ember screen saver (company no longer exists sadly as it still my favourite photo viewer so I can't ask them) and it draw images from my database of photos - thousands of them! It means that we occasionally get treated to slide shows of photos we haven't looked at for years.

    The problem however is that the selection is not truly random. It seems to have a preference for certain photos or groups of photos, so the random function is not truly random.

    Is there a better screen saver or alternatively a way of ensuring it is random.

    Running Screensavers eat up CPU cycles. If you want to run something, there are plenty of options, including the one that is built into Windows 10 that will pull from your My Photos folder.

In Windows 7 I could press two buttons to do a screen save and then go into @Paint' and paste it. I could then save it as a file. I can't find 'Paint' in Windows 10, has this program been scrapped and if so how do I save a screen print? :(
