We will do this by typing the following line:iconarea_image=C:\My Pictures\picture.bmp The image to be used as the folder background is specified through iconarea_image. So you can type in the exact path to any image of your liking after the “=” sign as shown above.Step 2- Now we will save the contents in a file called desktop.ini in the folder that we are customizing (in this case the folder is C:\myfolder). From the File>Save option save the file as desktop.ini and put the file name in double quotes as shown below to maintain the .ini extensionStep 3- Now we will have to give the folder system attribute. This can be done very easily through the command prompt. Open up the command prompt through Start>All programs>Accessories>command prompt. Type the following and press enter (remember we are using myfolder as an example, so the path name may vary accordingly for you) :Attrib +s “C:\myfolder”Additionally you can hide the desktop.ini file.That’s it, done !! The folder will now display the picture of your choice in the background.</blockquote>
