Background for flash drive folders

Goal:
I was just wondering how to put a picture as the background of my flash drive folders ? 

Process:

 

Procedure for Windows Vista and 7

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 desktop.ini to the root of the flash drive. Make sure it's not a .txt file.

Then open the desktop.ini file in notepad and enter the following content:

Code:

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

Procedure for Windows XP

Step 1: Copy the code below into notepad and then save it as "desktop.ini". Save it in your flash drive along with your picture.

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

[{BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}]    
Attributes=1    
IconArea_Image="your_picture.jpg"    
IconArea_Text="0xFFFFFF"    
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
