Photos screensaver

Does anyone know where the photos screensaver saves the list of photo files used in the screensaver? If I edit the folders or files used in the screensaver and do not go back to the screensaver settings to re-save, then some images do not appear when the screensaver runs since I have either renamed them or moved them or maybe only changed the properties (e.g. TAG info). Ideally, i would like to edit the list to display the images in the sequence i set rather than new images simply being appended to the legacy list of a previous save.

Re: Photos screensaver

They are usually viewed from within your pictures directory.

Re: Photos screensaver

Still looking for where the information (i.e., list of images filenames to be used) is stored. I've searched the registry and can't find it there, so thinking it's written to another file hidden away somewhere that i can't find.
