coz those so called webviews hv been removed in XP and the code has been hardcoded in the Shell
Webview also depends upon the Visual style, u r currently using
U can take a look at this little application to enable the webview:

I never checked it, so pls check it and post the result.

if you are talking about folder background then here is the trick:
create a desktop.ini file using notepad and put this code into the file:

[ExtShellFolderViews]
{BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}=
{BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}
[{BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}]
IconArea_Image=F:\My Documents\My Pictures\o_dreamfall_2_7.JPG

change the last line accordingly to the path of your image. then copy n paste this file into the folder you want to set background. this will do the trick.
