How to create Slideshows with Music in Windows Media Center

Are you looking for a nice way to create and display a slide show from your photo collection? Today we’ll show you how to create a slide show, how to add music to it, and watch it from the comfort of your couch in Windows 7 Media Center.
Create Slide Show
Launch Windows 7 Media Center and click on the Picture Library tile found under Pictures and Videos.

In the Pictures Library, scroll across to slide shows and click on Create Slide show.
Enter a name for the slide show and click Next.
If you are using a Windows Media Center remote, click on the OK button to bring up the onscreen keyboard. Use the directional buttons to navigate across the keyboard and press OKto select each letter. Click Done when finished.
Select Picture Library and click Next.
Select the pictures to include in your slide show. If using a remote, navigate through the images and press OK to select. If you are using a mouse, simply click on the selections. When you are finished, click Next.
Now, we can review and edit the slide show. Click the up or down pointing arrows to move pictures up and down in the order.  (more intuitive titles would be helpful in this case as opposed to the randomly generated titles in the example below)
If you are finished, click Create. You can also choose to go back and add music to your slide show. (or even more pictures) We’ll take a look at adding some music in our example. Click on the Add More button.
Add Music to Your Slide Show
Here we’ll select Music Library to add a song. Click Next.
You’ll now be able to browse your Music Library to select songs for your slide show.
Select your songs and click Next.
