My Documents is a system folder in Windows XP, but many of my friends don't use it often, or just use it to store files that work a lot. In fact, "My Documents" is not just a simple way to store files, it also has a lot of secrets and features not used!

1. "My Documents" can also make screen savers

In "My Documents", there is a "Picture Collection" folder by default, and in Windows XP, I use the Picture Collection folder. Dynamic screen protection can be easily created.

First copy the pictures you want to make as screen saver into the "My Documents → Picture Collections" folder, then right click on the desktop and select the "Properties" command in the pop-up menu. Click the "Screen Saver" tab, select "Picture Collection Slideshow" in the drop-down box, and then click the "Settings" button. In the settings dialog box, you can set the display effect of the screen saver. When you're done, click "Preview" to see the effect.

And it can conveniently display the next sub-menu, jump in each sub-folder, copy the moving files and other operations. This "mini" type resource manager has no window, it will be closed automatically when it is opened, and there is no need to click the mouse when jumping to the directory, and it can be called at any time when there are other program windows on the desktop to maximize the work, which does not affect at all.
