In Windows Vista, you can't use any image as folder background. But there is a small utility which allows you to set any wallpaper as background image in folders.
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" ....

^^ You can go ahead without any worries.
