How to create a custom folder Background

Explains how to make a custom wallpaper only visible in a single folder and not on your main desktop.

Here are the codes you can copy and paste:

[{BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}]

iconarea_image="C:\example.***"

*this is what you enter into the run box*

attrib +s "C:\example"

....wow you have to go into the search every single time...JUST to have an image up up?....this is a waste of time!...I dont have time to be tyoing in garage just to do that. I should be able to open the folder at anytime from anywhere and have THAT image in it at all times. There should be no reason to have to go into the search cmd just to open the folder...

@1Sandwitch1 ?? Did you even watch the video? After you follow the steps the image stays there until you delete it... My folder was on the desktop, I didn't open it through the command prompt. You have to run a command to make the image appear in the background, but then you're done with any commands.

@RedReality13 It only works in XP.

Really, that was helpful. Now I can even change the icon of my folders.

By the way, do you know how to add a transition like those ones that show up on a powerpoint slide show to the folders?

[dmanbiker]

Nope, I don't know if that's possible frankly.

@dmanbiker Exactlyy, you hajve to type that in every single time you open the folder you want an image to be in. Meaning it's a complete waste of time.
