It's what I used. Worked well but it was like finding a needle in the haystack.

You need a Custom theme.

If all you want to change is the background color in Windows Explorer:
  • Right click the Desktop select Personalize
  • Select Windows Colors
  • Select the Advanced Appearance Settings... link
  • In the Dropdown List select Window
  • You'll see a Color1 Box chance that color
That should do it.

This option has not worked on the windows explorer background color any of the six or seven times I tried it. It works fine on other programs, such as Mozilla Thunderbird, but not directly on windows explorer!
