Cause it hard to read the files then, the text used should be white, at least that's what I use.

Funny you should post this. I've been working on my own custom Explorer Window Background the past couple of days. I'm actually trying to find a way to use this feature ON ALL FOLDERS and not just on individual folders where I hit Customize This Folder.... I know WindowBlinds will do it but I don't want to install that. There is another program that will place desktop.ini files in every single folder on a drive batch style, but I don't necessarily like this idea either. My thoughts are that there has to be one place, like in the registry or .ini or .htt file where I can specify the .bmp or .jpg and it use that for every folder. I've been digging through the registry and many other things for a couple of days now. Any ideas on what I mean here?

I'm on Win2k, btw.

It always defaults to white so it must be set somewhere. I always figure it was in a file like explorer.exe or one of the .dll's but haven't found it yet.

I know you could customize the individual folders, but MS does it by placing an HTML file int he folder and that customizes how it looks. I wouldn't imagine you could change anything more than maybe just the backgroun COLOR of the folders. And you can do that in the display settings, you don' need a reg hack for that. My suggestion, just suck it up and download the program. *and i say that cause i'm lazy and it's not worth saving the 100k in resources.

:D

All you need is a 1K Desktop.ini file, there is a Folder Background Wizard which will do a ton of folders at once. Windows 2000 was better with the webview and some different folder looks.
