Here is a Tutorial incl a movie how you should do it
http://www.metacafe.com/watch/365489/what_you_can_do_with_your_favourite_pictures/ I try to keep the video short, so that it won't make the viewer boring with the long tutorial : )
Anyway,I will try to explain more detail here...
1) Open notepad
2) Type in the text below(no space)
[{BE0981 40-A513-11D0-A3 A4-00C04FD706EC}]
IconArea_Image ="C:\your picture location.jpg"
IconArea_Text= 0x00FFFFFF
3) Save file as desktop.ini
Save as type : All Files
4) Copy the desktop.ini file you just created, and
paste into the folder you want the background to
be change
5) Go to START --> RUN..
6) Type Attrib s "C:\Location of your folder"
Click OK
7) Open your folder and the picture should be set by
now
'IconArea_Image' is for you to key in the location of your picture. Let say if your picture is located at 'My Documents' with the file name 'abc.jpg', your location will look like this
"C:\Documents and Settings\user\My Documents\abc.jpg"
'IconArea_Text' is to set the color of your text, if you have a dark background it is recommended you set the text color to WHITE with is 0x00FFFFFF.
If you have a white background, you can set the folder text color to BLACK which is 0x00000000
Folder text color can be set to any color depends on which color you like, example:
PINK - 0x00FF99FF
PURPLE - 0x00FF99FF
RED - 0x00FF0000
and more
Recommended picture size is at 815 x 585 so that you will see a full picture and not Tile.
You can resize or cut your picture to the size
815 x 585 easily with 'Microsoft Photo Editor'
have Fun
cheers
