Change the background of your hard drive or pen drive

Do you want to change the background of your hard drive or pen drive? Then this tutorial is only for you. To change background of your hard drive or pen drive, first open Notepad (Start > All Programs > Accessories > Notepad). Write the following codes:


[{BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}]
IconArea_Image=
iconarea_text=0x00FFFFFF
On the second line (IconArea_Image=), after equal sign (=) write your image name (that you want to use as background) without any space. For example: If the name of the image (that you want to use as background) is test.jpg then the second line will be as following:

IconArea_Image=test.jpg
Now save these codes with the name desktop.ini in the drive of which background will be changed. If you save the file into a folder it will not work. I.e. if you want to change the background of D: drive, after saving the desktop.ini the location of it will be D:\desktop.ini. Now copy the desired image in the same drive.

Now refresh the drive and you will see the change. If you use background of light color like white, please delete the third line of the code and save it otherwise you will not be able to see the texts of the drive such as folder's name properly. Now hide both the image and the desktop.ini file.
