How to Set Your Desired Wallpaper as Folder Background Image in Windows XP

But this method no longer works in Windows Vista and 7. So today we are going to share a small utility which allows you to set any wallpaper as background image in folders in Windows Vista and 7.

Thanks to Andreas for creating "Vista Folder Background". It integrates itself in Explorer and adds a new tab "Folder Background" in Folder Customization dialog box.

Hey bro,
thanks a lot for this man, it worked beautifully on my computer (running Vista Home premium)!
But i just wanna make sure this doesnt do anything bad to my registry, because i got a message saying "Adding keys to the registry can prevent your computer from working, make sure u trust the source".
I just wanna be clear on that lol
Cheers for that again, u should go work with "Bill gates" .... :)
