My new Power Mac G5 comes with lots of screen saver pictures. Some of them are so nice that I would like to make one or more of them my desktop background. What folder are these pictures stored in? Thanks!

Macintosh HD > Library > Screen Savers > "nameOFscreenSAVER.slidesaver"

Then right-click the file and choose "Show Package Contents"

>Contents > Resources > Images

That's where they will most likely be.

Thanks, I looked there - it was an obvious place, but that folder is empty. I even turned on the "show invisible files" in case it was hidden, but no joy. The folder is empty. Based on your response, I asked Spotlight to show me anything with .slidesaver in its name, but that list was empty too. Any other suggestions?

Ugh. I remember seeing them just the other day. I'll know for sure when I get home to my Powerbook. I'm in OS9 at work...
