We have posted a tutorial about settings your desired wallpaper as background image in any folder:
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.

Dear Ronnell,
you can still accomplish it with resource hacker and your imageres.dll file it will just change the icon universally though. or you could copy the icon and then customize it to your desire then use that one from a different path i suppose. resource hacker is a neat application and you dont even have to install it it runs straight from the zip file.
dont give up just take a break you figure it out. sorry i was absolutely no help. you can still change your subfolders and the background of them. now just find a way to change the main user folders. i am gonna keep at it as well since you gave me such a great idea and i wanna do it real badly now too
good luck have fun

Vishal's site mashed together with Google makes a spicy meatball.

Dear Ronnell,
I rarely comment at all, but when i found this site i was very happy to see how much support Vishal gives to visitors. I was overwhelmed by the knowledge he has made available with no thought for reward. I couldnt stop myself from helping, since i have received so much myself in just a short time being a guest here. you should subscribe to Vishal's RSS feed//content and comments
School sounds like a blast if all you do is work on yur computer
Can i ask what Profession you are aiming for? well i just did, didn't I?
Teacher? if so Vishal can give you the cliff notes

I love pc so much that I like repairing them, getting old part and fixing up pc, and giving them to people. I just love seeing how their faces light up, I do that now but I need to learn the inside and outs of them, I still might teach a little, thanks
