How to put a background of your choice to any folder in Windows XP

How to put a background image of your choice to any folder or flash drive for  Windows XP


1: Copy and paste the following code, then save it as "desktop.ini"

For Windows XP:

[.ShellClassInfo]
IconFile=%SystemRoot%\system32\SHELL32.dll
IconIndex=127
ConfirmFileOp=0
[{BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}]
Attributes=1
IconArea_Image="yourpicture.jpg"
IconArea_Text="0xFFFFFF"
VeBRA sources - don't delete the tag above, it's there for XXXXX purposes -
[ExtShellFolderViews]
{BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}={BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}
{5984FFE0-28D4-11CF-AE66-08002B2E1262}={5984FFE0-28D4-11CF-AE66-08002B2E1262}
[{5984FFE0-28D4-11CF-AE66-08002B2E1262}]
PersistMoniker=Folder.htt
PersistMonikerPreview=%WebDir%\folder.bmp




2: Put "desktop.ini" file to your folder or into the flash drive and replace "yourpicture" from above code with the name & path of the picture you want to use(leaving the .jpg extension the same.)
e.g. IconArea_Image="g33ktrick.jpg"

3: Copy the same picture that you used as name into the required folder/flash drive (where you already put desktop.ini)

4: Now just "Refresh" (F5)
