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.

This happens at times, well many times actually, its more related to ur system performance.
What i do is put a background which is more in white......so the text within the folder is always visible.....and slowly after a few seconds the background image pops up even if it isint being displayed in the folder.
I wouldnt advice you to change the settings to System Performance
(in My Computer Advanced Settings) as.....this case happens in a few folders not all.

^^ Open Command Prompt and go to the parent folder containing the folder which is giving problem to you.
for example, if you changed background of a folder "test" which is stored in "D:\folder\", then provide following commands:
That's it. It'll delete the file and you'll be able to open the folder without any problem.
