Hello.

I love the Random screensaver. However, I don't want to have all my photo libraries/albums used as slide shows. I have some neat, dynamic screensavers I much prefer. And I HATE that .Mac shows an iLife box being lovingly panned over again and again as one of the random choices.

So, my question is: is there shareware out there that lets one "manage" their screensaver choices, OR

Is there a way to delete the photo folders/pictures folder screensaver and the .Mac one, so all that's left would be my installed ones. I know where the files are, but unfortunately if you remove the Pictures Folder saver from the ...Frameworks/A folder all the iPhoto albums still show up in the Screen Saver preference pane, and if one is chosen randomly it goes blackscreen.

Apple really should give the users more options with the Screen Saver. it would be so easy and user-friendly to do... Maybe 10.4

Thank you!

In System Preferences select Screen Effects then select .mac. Click configure and deselect the .mac public slide show.
