I would like to change the background of my windows. For my C drive and such. What is the easyest way to do this if any?

The only way I know to have a custom background for a directory is by editing the relevant desktop.ini file.

Browse to the folder you wish to customize, and edit the desktop.ini file, which is hidden by default. Add:


[{BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}]
IconArea_Image=E:\My Documents\My Pictures\MyCustomBG.jpg

for example.
