To change the background image of folder XP, you can create The Desktop.ini file the folder of which you want to change the background. Follow the following steps:
- Right click on folder, select customize. Change Icon. You do this only to trigger the creation of a desktop.ini.
- You don't have to make the desktop.ini hidden, system, or Read Only. It just has to be there in the proper format/syntax.
- Open the desktop.ini and edit the image path and text color. I have a centralized location of all my images (C:\My documents\My picture) Here:
Code:[ExtShellFolderViews] {BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}= {BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC} [{BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}] IconArea_Image=C:\My Folder Background.jpg- Edit the last line of code (IconArea_Image=C:\My documents\My picture\abc.jpg) to the path of your picture, save the file and close it. Refresh your folder and it should have the new background.
