Folder wallpaper in XP


Recommended Posts

Posted

In Windows 98 & 2000, I can click "customize this folder" and use a wallpaper for the folder. XP doesn't have that option. I heard XP still has active desktop, but Microsoft hid the controls. Where? Did they also hide the folder wallpaper option? Where?

XP has customize this folder. If yours is missing make sure this registry key exists. HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shellex\PropertySheetHandlers\{ef43ecfe-2ab9-4632-bf21-58909dd177f0}

You can also change the desktop.ini in any folder. I've tried it before and it works but since the desktop.ini can be over-written very easily, sometimes the settings do not stay for very long.

hope author won't mind me asking this (is related)

but for dekstop.ini per folder, can XP even "auto stretch" the image at all ?

I've been searching on google for some time answer but can't find any

seems XP only tiles the image, which basicaly suck :P
