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.

Code:

{BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}={BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}
[{BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}]
IconArea_Image=test.jpg



>>.try it. :)

nik - Mar 23, 2009 01:43AM
how to do it? Can you state the steps on doing it. please
rh - Mar 23, 2009 03:54AM
it is explained in the first message at the top

1- copy the image that you want to the root directory of the flash usb

2- in the same root directory of the flash usb, create a text file with notepad or other plain text editor, and
write inside it the following


[ExtShellFolderViews]
{BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}={BE098140-A513-11D0-A­3A4-00C04FD706EC}
[{BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}]
IconArea_Image=test.jpg


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

Hey guysZZzz... don't get freaked out!!! ok!!!

Here is the code:

[.ShellClassInfo]
IconFile=%SystemRoot%\system32\SHELL32.dll
IconIndex=127
ConfirmFileOp=0

[{BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}]
Attributes=1
IconArea_Image="YOUR_PICTURE.gif"
IconArea_Text="0xYOUR_TEXT_COLOR"
VeBRA sources - don't delete the tag above, it's there for XXXXX purposes -
[ExtShellFolderViews]
{BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}={BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}
{5984FFE0-28D4-11CF-AE66-08002B2E1262}={5984FFE0-28D4-11CF-AE66-08002B2E1262}

[{5984FFE0-28D4-11CF-AE66-08002B2E1262}]
PersistMoniker=Folder.htt
PersistMonikerPreview=%WebDir%\folder.bmp

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 ☺☺☺

it's not working in windows vista///
mr_angel - Sep 27, 2009 03:02AM
yah!! thats code is really ryt!!

just ff: this steps:

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;

[ExtShellFolderViews]
BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}={BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}
[{BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}]
IconArea_Image=a.jpg
Iconarea_Text=0xFFFFFF


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!!!!!!!!!

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.)

[{BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}]
iconarea_image="back.jpg"
iconarea_text="0xFFFFFF"

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.

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.
