nothingnoiz Posted February 7, 2002 Posted February 7, 2002 how can i set background images to folders in windows xp pro?
Big Booger Posted February 7, 2002 Posted February 7, 2002 the icon, the thumbnail, but I dont think you can change the background of the actual folder. Though, I may be wrong. To change icon or thumbnail simply click the folder with the right mouse button, and hit properites then customize. From there you will see the options to change the thumbnail or icon.Big Booger
piaqt Posted February 7, 2002 Posted February 7, 2002 You CAN change the bgimage, but you have to create a new desktop.ini for that folder, and I don't know the syntax. Also, place the image in the folder itself.[/color:85bff32ff2]
babis Posted February 8, 2002 Posted February 8, 2002 Yup you have to edit some values in the desktop.ini and it works.I found this nifty little program that does the same job..I can't remember where I found out but I'll host it on my geocities account for a few days...[b:7d288a8acd]Copy Paste link to work [/b:7d288a8acd]http://www.geocities.com/bantoniou.rm/bgwiz101.zip
