ASW files are used to create slideshows and screensavers for Windows. You can create an ASW file using the Slideshow Wizard. To open it select Create → Slideshow File... from the application toolbar and then select the "Create a new slideshow" option.

The wizard walks you through the creation process as you select images, set the transitions, add text, loop audio, pick a background color, and more. All of these settings are stored in the ASW file.
