Hello,
I was just wondering how to put a picture as the background of my flash drive folders. if there is any one who can help me with this would be great. Ive bine looking all over the place and have found nothing that works. I have windows vista. hope there is someone out there to help me. thanks
First of all put the iamge file ( eg. test.jpg) in the root of the Flash drive. Then create a text file there and rename it to desktop.ini to the root of the Flsh drive.. Make sure it's not a .txt file.
Then open the desktop.ini file in notepad and enter following content.
hi friend,

hi, yeah your codes really works'... but how can I change the font color???? I tried to add this code: iconarea_text=FFFFFF but it doesn't work'... care to help me??? :D thanks'...
3- please note that the last line, must have the NAME of the image file you want. you must susbtitue
test.jpg with the real name of your file
4- save & close that file
5. rename that text file to this name:
Desktop.ini
6. so in the root directory of the flash usb, must be at least, the image file that you want to show as background, and the text file you edited and renamed to Desktop.ini
This code really works just be reminded to change YOUR_PICTURE.gif to your picture file name, your picture should be saved first on your flash disk, & 0XxYOUR_TEXT_COLOR should be changed also to HEX color codes like: 0xCC0099 for Violet & 0xFFFFFF for White
if it Doesn't work in Vista try to browsenet there'll be answers to your questions just don't get impatient OK ☺☺☺
1. first you must find the picture you want to put on the desktop of your flash drive.
2. then copy it to your flash drive.
3.Then open notepad or some any textpad then copy this to your notepad or textpad;
4. Remember that you must edit this "IconArea_image="name of your pic you want be".jpg"
5. Then Iconarea_text=0xFFFFFF is the color of your text that you want to....then edit it if you some any color.
6.Then GOto File=> save as =>
7.as you can see the File name
8. Change it to "Desktop.ini" this is the important thing....
9. Good Luck!!!!!!!!!
10. Thanks

bakit di siya gumagana sa root directory ng hard disk? yung dati na ginamit ko gumana naman. tapos I white font color ko sana para kabahan ang mga papasok sa drive C: ko. hahaha. :p
1.) Copy Paste the following code in the notepad and rename that notepad file to desktop.ini (Just make sure when you paste this code, the Double Quotes are in Notepad format otherwise type the Double quotes manually from your keyboard.)
2.) Choose any image of your choice and rename it to back. jpg
3.) Copy Paste both these files (i.e. desktop.ini and back. jpg) into your USB device and make them hidden by selecting Properties -> Hidden Files.
That's it. You are done.
Just REFRESH your screen (of your USB device) and you will see your image on background.
hi iam igah I want to put back behind my folders in my flash drive. I try but can't succeed can some body help.
just tell me how to do it. I would be very greatfull if any one do.
just copy the code and save paste it in notepad and then save to ur flash drive then change the naem of a file "desktop.ini" and then edit the picture image of ur bakground
go to the TOOLS>FOLDER OPTIONS>VIEW> and uncheck the hide extensions of known files to reveal the ext. for changing purposes, The ext becomes part of the name of the file you rename the whole thing. But remember to go back and hide extensions when ur done or it could cause problem in ur day to day.
