Transparent Folder Window

How can I make folder windows transparent

Friday, November 23, 2007 by espmartin | Discussion: WindowBlinds

Hello All,

Is there a way to make the window of a "My Computer" folder transparent? Not the titlebar, borders, statusbar - but the main window where the files list.

Is it possible?

Thanks and God bless,

Thanks Bilbo1930 and vStyler. Do you know if any of the stardock products allows that?

WindowFX can do it in XP on a per-application basis.

When you launch WinFX there is a wizard.  The second to last item is the one you need

I tried it, and added "explorer.exe" as the program to tweak, but the program crashes when I add that to be transparent

Oh well...
