Folder Backgrounds

[Rand Marks]

Hi,

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

Control Panel\Appearance and Personalization\Personalization\Window Color and Appearance > Advanced Appearance Settings (bottom left).

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.

 

[Rand Marks]

Can it not be done?

Have you tried this?

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.

OK, sorry, I'm out of options
