Customize Folder Backgrounds - Sir Jhone - 03-23-2010 08:45 AM
Select the folder you want to use for your background wallpaper. You must convert the folder you want to use to a System folder. At the command prompt screen ( Start > Run > CMD) which looks something like this: "c:\>" type this command: attrib +s c:\myfolder and then hit the Enter Key.
Copy and paste the script below into Notepad and change the line that says IconArea_Image to point to the directory
and the file that you want to use for the background image.
[ExtShellFolderViews]
{BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}={BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}
[{BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}]
Attributes=1
IconArea_Image=C:\YOUR LOCATION\OF\ANY\IMAGE.JPG
IconArea_Text=0x00000000
The last line in the script tells Windows what color the font will be when you read the files in that folder. For instance:
0x00000000 = black
0x00FF0000 = blue
0x0000FF00 = green
0x000000FF = red
0x00C000C0 = purple
Now save the file you just created as desktop.ini and place it into the directory you just converted into a system folder. Now close that folder and then reopen.
