I want to use My Pictures Slideshow on all the computers in my environment and have it point to a shared network location. &nbsp;My question is does this screen saver pull a copy of the files for the slideshow every time it runs? &nbsp;I will only have one .BMP file in this folder which we will modify from time to time. &nbsp;I don't want all 6500 computers pulling this image across the network all day when the screensaver is active.<br />

Thanks for any information.<br />
