How can I disable the Desktop Background Slide Show in Windows 7?


In the new Windows 7 RTM, I can't see a place in Control Panel->Appearance and Personalization->Personalization to disable the desktop background slideshow feature. You can change what's included, so I suppose if you chose a single background that would do it.


Is there a way to turn this feature off?



Answer



Deselecting all images but one should do the trick.


A more sophisticated way would be:


Pause the Desktop Background Slide Show



  • Open the Control Panel in the Start menu.

  • Open Power Options in the Control Panel.


Note: If Power Options is not available, change View by to Large icons at the top right of the Control Panel.



  • Click Change plan settings next to the power plan you want to edit.

  • Click Change advanced power settings.

  • Click Change settings that are currently unavailable to unlock the advanced power settings.

  • Set Slide show under Desktop background settings to Paused and then click OK to save the changes.
