HOW TO CHANGE FOLDER BACKGROUND

TRICK TO CHANGE FOLDER BACKGROUND

1. Open Command Prompt and set folder attribute to "system". Suppose there is a folder "Sunny" in "E:\" drive, in which you want to set a wallpaper as background image.
TYPE.:  attrib +s E:\Sunny


2. Now open Notepad and paste following code:

[ExtShellFolderViews]
{BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC} = {BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}
[{BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}]
Attributes=1
IconArea_Image=D:\Wallpaper\Image1.jpg
IconArea_Text=0x00000000

Now change "path_of_the_wallpaper" to the exact path of the wallpaper which you want to set as background. Suppose the wallpaper is stored in "D:\Wallpaper\Image1.jpg".

3. Now save the file with name "Desktop.ini" (including quotes) and copy the file in the desired folder which is "Sunny" in our example.
4. Thats it. Close the folder and re-open it. Now it should show the wallpaper as background.

IconArea_Text
Black - 0x00000000
White - 0x00FFFFFF
Green - 0x0000FF00
Blue - 0x00FF0000
Purple - 0x00C000C0
Red - 0x000000FF
