You can have a slide show (a rotating series of pictures) as your desktop background. You can use your own pictures or pictures that Windows provides as part of a theme.

The Slide show power option allows users to specify when they want the desktop background slide show to be available or paused when on battery or plugged in.

This tutorial will show you how to add or remove the "Slide show" setting under Desktop background settings in Power Options for all users in Windows 7 and Windows 8.

You must be signed in as an administrator to be able to do the steps in this tutorial.
