Burn CD with Background Wallpaper?

[Wesmosis]

hey guyz how are ya ll?

I managed to change the (white) backgound in any XP folders, by making an desktop.ini file and put the following informations:

[{BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}]
Attributes=1
IconArea_Image=.\background.jpg <------------------you photo name in the same folder
IconArea_Text=0x00FFFFFF	   <--------------- to make the font white

then make this folder in a system attribute simply by (for instance the folder name is Wesmosis

Run> CMD>

c:\attrib Wesmosis +s

Bingo! now you folder will look aewsome by its new background

now my qustion is how can I permanently change the background of the root of burned CD, I tried to put the desktop.ini & background.jpg on the Root of the CD, and burned it, did't work..any idea?

This is quite cool. Where did you find the information ? Be nice to see if it can scale images as well.

I dont know if this will help you but i have done some changes to my desktop.ini files and inorder to make any changes take effect i used ATTRIB +S to make it a system file so.

ATTRIB +S "path your folder"

just dont do the path to yoru desktop.ini its the path of the folder you wish to apply the changes to. Just an idea.

nice find, really, i might make use of this, bookmarked

[Wesmosis]

man! My above giude woked also with the burned CD!

I just was blind to see it, I think to see the background in the CD you have to enable the Autoplay option for the CD,

thanx guyz, have fun with changing your folders background

Is there a way to apply the same background to any folder of a partiion in one time?

Do the same thing recursively...

unfortunately, I think you have to do it manually

IconArea_Image=.\background.jpg <------------------you phoot name in the same folder

Q:

How large or small should the jpg be?

Would it take gif/png?

That would mean putting a separate jpg in each folder.

phoot? = photo?

[Wesmosis]

photo = phoot it's just a typo

about the size, put any size you want, but you will see only the size of the window wether maxmized or smaller a bit

i.e you can't see the big size photo as a full photo

anyway, about gif and png, try it and tell us

It works with bmp

[Takeshi]

Yep, it works with png and gif (any animation will be lost).

If the pic is too small it will be tiled to fill the window.
