Put Background Picture to Your USB Flash Drive

Tired of the old white background when opening your flash drive? Express your self by customizing your flash drive so it would reflect the real you. Put your own picture or something that is uniquely you.

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

1. Choose a picture that you want to set as background.
2. Save it into your flash drive.
3. Open Notepad. (Start>Programs>Accessories>Notepad)
4. Copy the following text:

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

5. Save the Notepad into your flash drive as desktop.ini

*note: replace "test.jpg" with the filename of your picture.
ex. my_pic.jpg

Setting a background might cause the text (file names) to be hardly seen. To resolve this, change the font color.

Here's how:

Open desktop.ini then add the following text at the bottom.

IconArea_Text-"0x[hexadecimal code of color]"

*ex. IconArea_Text-"0xFFFFFF" => this would change the font color into white

For hexadecimal codes check one of my earlier posts.

Try it now!

Hexadecimal Codes of Colors

I found this site that gives the hexadecimal codes of colors. This would be useful for creating html and for some other purposes.
