    Folder Backgrounds


    Hi,

    How do I manually change the background image of certain folders in Explorer? The program Windows 7 Background Changer lags my Explorer.

    Hi, whs,

    I don’t want to change the background color; I want to set a background image, as shown below. This is possible in XP through editing a folder’s desktop.ini, but not in 7.

    Hi, A Guy,

    No, I hadn’t, but I just did, and it had the same effect on my Explorer.

    Thanks anyway.

    I’m afraid I’ve been there, too. See Nadeem’s comment on that page.
