Windows Slideshow custom pictures deployment

Question

Our customer desires to have their own picture collection during screen saver / Windows Spotlight / Slideshow. I spend some time to study this topic and found registry path below. If I add custom folder location to Slideshow via Settings\Personalization\Lockscreen\ I see registery creates this crazy hash path value. I did a test by removing the custom folder location, re-added it back and checked, that the hash seems to be re-generated with same values. Could this work with deployment automation? Am I on the right path, or is there a better way to do this?

Hi,

You can deploy a new lockscreen folder locally or from Azure storage with this method. This article is related to add the images to a storage account on Azure but you can modify the script and change the path to be a local path.
