How to Make Your Default Picture a Slideshow
Every user account on your PC or Mac computer can have a unique desktop picture that appears on the screen after login. If you want to change your default picture to a slide show that rotates images periodically, you'll need to reconfigure your computer's display settings. Mac computers have a built-in feature for using default picture slide shows. PC users will need to download a third-party program.
