Go to Start, Search and search for a file called mypics.scr
If you find it, you can right click on it and select Configure. Then you can select the pictures you want. It should be located in the C:\WINDOWS\System32 folder.

If you can't locate the file, then click on the link below to download a copy of it and place it in the WINDOWS\System32 folder
