Anyone Use AOL's 'You've Got Pictures Screensaver'?

If so, any idea how two different users of the same PC can have different pictures set up on the desktop?

I somehow managed it when I had Windows ME, but now I have XP, it won't let us have seperate pictures on different desktops.

Alternatively, anyone know of any free screensaver programs that don't come with the now usual malware/viruses, that is easy to use and easy to add my own pictures too?

Many thanks.

Sylvester

    I've only had XP for a couple of days.

    I did a search for screensaver, but I came up with just the AOL one.

    I'll have another look and see what happens, thanks

    Found it, but it says I can't edit it to my own pictures in, at least not where I found it too (in display-screensavers)

    In the screensaver section click on settings. You can point it to whatever folder you want. Just put any pics you want included in that folder

    Hmmm, strange.

    When I click settings, all it says is 'this screen saver has no options that you can set'
