Thanks to Andreas for creating “Vista Folder Background“. It integrates itself in Windows Explorer and adds a new tab “Folder Background” in Folder Customization dialog box.
To set a folder’s background image, right-click on the folder and select Properties. Then go to “Folder Background” tab. Here you can select the desired wallpaper as folder background. You can also set the text color and shadow effect.
It also allows you to set the same background image and settings to all sub-folders inside your selected folder to save your time.
You can download it using following link:

Is this supposed to work in windows 8.1? I installed, got the tab to make changes, but nothing happened after setting a color and image.
^^ It’ll not work in Windows 8.1. Its only for Windows Vista.
