Display for W7 screensaver path is not an option - how can I get that back?

I have upgraded from XP to W7 and am very happy with the way that much faster and better W7 is, even on the same hardware.

I have a disappointment.  In XP, you can choose the option to display the path of the images on the screen saver.  I really liked that we use all our vacation photos, and it's nice to remember exactly where they were taken.

Is there a work around to bring back this feature?

Thanks in advance!
