Add Image to Folder Background in WinXP

Hi, Today we will see how to add an image to the background of any folder.
Here I am giving u a example, It looks like this:



1.) Create a New Folder, or just open a folder in which you wish to add the background image.

2.) Copy the image you wish to display in that folder and after that Copy this code in notepad
[ExtShellFolderViews]
{BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}={BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}
[{BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}]
IconArea_Image= "image name.jpg"


3.) After this Save the notepad file in folder for which you wish to add background image, as "Desktop.ini"

4.) After this, right click on that folder, click properties and select Customize tab, then click on change icon, here choose any icon. After that the background image will appear...

5.) Enjoy you have done it!
