How to Put Background in your USB?

Ever wonder embedding a background image at your USB. That when you plug and open it you'll see the image as well as the files and folders save inside your USB. Here I will teach how to do it. It is easy as 1 2 3 but this code won't work on Windows Vista. Tested only in Windows XP.

Example (My USB)

Use this code:

[.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


Paste this code in your notepad. See that bold letters? "your_picture.jpg" change that filename to the image you have chosen. Another thing is what if the folder of the file name is unreadable because of the color of the background image? Just change this area IconArea_Text="0xFFFFFF". Just search for the codes of each color, "0xFFFFFF" is the code for white.

After that just save it to desktop.ini in your desktop then copy it together with your chosen image in the root directory of your USB. Refresh it and PooF!!!. And if doesn't work just reconnect your USB.

Just make sure you have a copy of the desktop.ini in your USB incase if you want to change something in the codes. *Please put in a folder because once it is put in a root directory of your USB it will vanish and image will not appear.

*It also applies to any removable storage media.
