Set your Image in your Folder

Hi, in many blogs I have seen this trick and same I am adding in my blog too.... so enjoy your folder with your images....

First of all, select ur desired folder and hit “ALT+ENTER” a properties dialog will pop up.

Then go to » Customize tab » Customize. There, choose any icon, click Apply and OK.

Now in the address bar of your folder type “\desktop.ini” before your folder’s path.

A file named “desktop.ini” will open in notepad.

Add following lines on it.

[ExtShellFolderViews]
{BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}={BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}
[{BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}]
IconArea_Image=C:\path\folder\background.jpg


Save it!!!

Now Just do refresh, and it is ready to show image in your folder. (you can change the path of image as you want)


To remove the default icon chosen during the creation of the desktop.ini and restore the default folder icon, delete these lines of code from within the desktop.ini file:

[.ShellClassInfo]
IconFile=%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll
IconIndex=(some number)
