[Siddharth Maheshwari]

Hello frnds,
I am a 14 year old boy .This is my second tutorial .My first tutorial was disliked by everyone before 6 months.Plz kindly reply that were u knowing this trick or not .

If u want to set an image as the background of a window follow these steps:-
a>Create an file with .ini extension and name it desktop.U can make it in note pad.
b>Open it and place the following code:-
[{BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}]
iconarea_image=adress if the image without the quotes
iconarea_text=colour of the text


The code will appear the following
[{BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}]
iconarea_image=C:\WINDOWS\Web\Wallpaper\VistaBliss .jpg
iconarea_text=0x00FFFFFF

Thanks the same thing works in folders and sub-folders also

[plsoft]

@siddharth- tried again, don't know why it doesn't work for me though i have followed the same procedure. By the way do you have to create a new file for every folder/sub-folder, or you can copy-paste the desktop.ini file you created earlier in the folders and sub-folders?

I think now u should ask to proffesionals like Vishal Gupta or some other

Windowpaper (http://www.sodabush.com/products/windowpaperxp/index.php) does the same job.

Ya frnd we can use it but then their will be no interest in changing it bcoz their will be no coding

[aditya.shevade]

Now I have a question. If your image is bigger that the area where it is going to be placed, then the image gets cut. Is there any way to go around it?

I am attaching screenshot for better understanding.

Aditya
I think u shold try by resizing the image

[aditya.shevade]

That I know, but what of the aspect ratios are differant? And I cannot just go on changing the size of every image. Besides, I will have to try resising it many times, till it fits in the window. There must be another way.

I will try to find it by the time u put this question in the Q n A section.

try changing icon of the subfolder in which u have desktop.ini file and the image for background.

it will surely work ;)

[mandeep444]

nice work man.........:D

[Quiz_Master]

Well. Its not new...
This file desktop.ini can be created in windows 98. By using folder options.
And if we apply a image background wallpaper for folder from there..it will work for XP too.
So all we need to do is to copy the content of that file which automatically gets created in windows 98.

Still a great tut.

[ratedrsuperstar]

good tut and the softs good too thnx to both of yaal

[vineeth.gk]
