I had Screen Saver set to random modules and now that I have Panther installed, it includes my iPhoto library as well. I really don't want to show all of my photos as screen savers. I tried to remove the Photos folder from the list of modules in ScreenSaver, but nothing seems to work. The help screen tells how to select it, but not how to remove it completely.
Help???

Make a folder containing only aliases of the photos you want to show and then point it there.

Not good enough. I want to run all the other modules, but don't want to have Screen Saver showing my photos folder. There should be an option to turn this off.

I feel the same way. Ever since Panther, I have not been able to keep iPhoto pictures from running in ScreenSavers set on Random.
I posted a plea sometime ago on the Apple board, I think, but it was never answered so I sort of gave up on it.
Maybe someone will step in here & help.
