But what if you don’t want grandma to see that snapshot of you feeding the dog table scraps, or your brother to see photos from that New Year’s party you forgot to invite him to? One way you can control who sees what is by playing a slide show of a specific folder rather than your entire collection: from the Windows Media Center start screen, scroll to Pictures + Videos, click Picture library, go to the desired folder, and then click Play slide show.


To create a custom slide show

    Click the Start button Picture of the Start button, click All Programs, and then click Windows Media Center.

    On the Windows Media Center start screen, scroll to Pictures + Videos, and then click Pictures library.

    In the row of viewing options just above your pictures, click Slide shows, and then click Create Slide Show.

    Follow the instructions to give your slide show a name and to add pictures and music. When you're finished, on the Review & Edit Slide Show screen, click Create.

When playing a slide show, you’ll notice that a set amount of time passes between each transition, and that the song information occasionally shows up in the bottom-left corner. These and other slide show features can be customized to your liking.
To change settings for your slide shows

    Click the Start button Picture of the Start button, click All Programs, and then click Windows Media Center.

    On the Windows Media Center start screen, scroll to Tasks, click Settings, click Pictures, and then click Slide Shows.

    Change options for how you want your slide shows appear, and then click Save.
