I'm not sure how to explain this. I doubt there's a emulator out there for this, but could you guys all google around? (not that I haven't)? Okay, here's the attachement.

Sorry maybe I'm just stupid but it won't work. Thanks for the really fast answer and good find. I just don't see how it works without any hacks or anything.

The feature is built into XP, only the interface/front-end for this was removed (it used to be present in Win98. Hurrah to Microsoft for removing it! Just what they'd do ). This app does nothing but create a file called "desktop.ini" in the folder you want the wallpaper for with the path to the picture file. This can be done manually too...More information, here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...ing/custom.asp

This is the syntax if you want to do it manually...

Paste this into a textfile and name it as desktop.ini. Paste that into the folder you want, with the path to the picture and it will be set as the folder background.

so all you do is just put it in that folder? it is not working... sorry I'm not trying to sound like a n00b, but I've tried it like 8 times and every option but it's still white. It's ok with me if it doesn't work, I was just wondering. I have desktop.ini in the folder, with the following code:

P.S thanks for the syntax.

My bad. I just lifted the code from the desktop.ini file in the folder I'd customised and pasted it here. Most of it is superfluous. The correct syntax for this is, therefore:
"
[{BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}]
IconArea_Image=C:\My Documents\My Pictures\Blue Hills.bmp ----> This is just an example

"
This is where I got this information from. You can doublecheck from there, too. http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,10...2/article.html

You could just use a program called 'folder tweaker', that's what I use.
