trick to apply background image to a Folder

1 . Open The Notepad


2. Type the below code in the text document created

[ExtShellFolderViews]
{BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}={BE098410-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}
[{BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}]
IconArea_Image-=
IconArea_Image=path of jpg,jpeg,bmp,gif file

replace "path of jpg,jpeg,bmp,gif file" in the code with the path of the file where your image is located.

For example, if your jpg image is located in c:\wall with the name Vista, set the path as g:\wall\image.jpg

3. Now save it with the File name desktop.ini and hit Refresh
Note: Make sure to change the Save as type field from Text Document(*.txt) to All Files.

That's it! Now your favorite image is set as the background.
