Windows 8: How do you set 'Photos' to show from one folder?

I now have Windows 8. I'm not using the new Desktop Start screen much, but would be nice if I could control what folder the Photos/Pictures app thing that slides thru pics, comes from.

For example: Holidays, or a folder of pictures of places me and my girlfriend have visited.
I know you can set one picture to be used. But can you set a particular folder to be used?

Thanks, but it isn't useful.
There is that app on the start screen, and nowhere does it say that you can select one particular folder to use for viewing in the "active tile".

Ok so I am now looking again at this, and still stumped.

I want to know, from that tile, the Photos tile, how do you tell it what photos or what FOLDER to show photos from.

ie. I want to show photos only from a folder of me and my girlfriend. Is there a different App that does that??
