How to Set Your Desired Wallpaper as Folder Background Image in Windows Only Bitmap format

How to Set Your Desired Wallpaper as Folder Background Image in Windows (File Format Should be BITMAP i.e .bmp)

1. Open Notepad and paste following code:

[ExtShellFolderViews]
{BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC} = {BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}

[{BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}]
Attributes=1
IconArea_Image=path_of_the_wallpaper

Now change “path_of_the_wallpaper” to the exact path of the wallpaper which you want to set as background. Suppose the wallpaper is stored in “F:\Wallpaper\Nature1.bmp”, then the code will be as following:

[ExtShellFolderViews]
{BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC} = {BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}
[{BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}]
Attributes=1
IconArea_Image= F:\Wallpaper\Nature1.bmp

NOTE: If you copy the wallpaper in the same folder which you are editing, then you can simply put the wallpaper name in the file. e.g. if you copy the “Nature1.bmp”

[ExtShellFolderViews]
{BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC} = {BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}
[{BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}]
Attributes=1
IconArea_Image= Nature1.bmp

2. Now save the file with name “desktop.ini” (including quotes) and copy the file in the desired folder which is you want to set the folder background.

3. Thats it. Close the folder and re-open it or click Refresh in it. Now it should show the wallpaper as background.
