Thanks for your reply, I tried these -- dragging photos and folders into the well but the "row with "Your Photos" should appear" did not appear, "You can also drag a folder with images right onto the current wallpaper thumbnail and wait for this folder to appear as a new set of wallpapers at the bottom of the list of available wallpaper sets." And no new set of wallpapers appeared at the bottom. What did happen is the photos from the folder are rotating on my wallpaper but there are no controls to set how the photos are displayed. i want to rotate the photos and set sizes and duration like the old OS, does the folder have to be in a specific spot on my hard drive? Something strange is going on........
