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.

can anyone help me out. i have installed the "Vista folder background" and it was working great for a while, but when i started changing backgrounds or remove the backround image of one folder , the backround image do get changed/removed ,but when you use the "back botton" to go to a previous folder w/ backgound image, and return to the folder with removed background, the image from the folder with background sorts of overlaps/lingers on the folder w/o background , specialy when you move your cursor to open a folder, and i cant see or read any of the file names. i have to constantly rightclick "refresh" on the folders to remove the lingering jumbled image. Can anyone kindly help me on this. I really like having background image on my folders, im a bit of a customize freak, so id regret having to go without it and would like to keep using it if i could get it working and it wont be bothersome to fix. can anyone please help me on this please, thanks.
