Okay, here's my attempt at a step-by-step instruction, hope this makes sense:

1. Make sure your collections are all categorized the same way. For example, mine are all in the "Custom" category. You can change that by clicking on each collection and clicking "rename" then choose a category.

2. Make sure the name of each collection begins with the number representing the order in which you wish them to cycle. For example, mine are 1 Fellowship of the Ring The Shire, 2 Fellowship of the Ring Bree, 3 Fellowship of the Ring Rivendell, and so forth.

3. Go behind the scenes in your webshots program by going into My Computer and going to C:\Program Files\Webshots\Collections\. In that folder, you will find your collection files named "category name - collection name". Copy all those collection files to a temporary directory elsewhere on your hard drive (NOT in any Webshots directory).

4. Delete the files that you just copied from the webshots program directory (i.e. delete them from C:\Program Files\Webshots\Collections).

5. Copy the collection files from your temporary directory back into your webshots program directory (C:\Program Files\Webshots\Collections\) by going into My Computer again.

When you copy the files themselves directly into the Webshots program directory, for some reason it reads them in file name order only--so it will cue to the numbers that begin the filenames.

If that doesn't make sense, freepmail me, and maybe we can chat through it or I can troubleshoot for you.
