Set background picture for any drive in windows without any software
Generally, many of us use third party softwares to set background picture for any drive.But this can be done with a simple code without using any software in windows.
+ Open notepad and copy the following code :
[{BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}]
iconarea_image=D:\Wallpapers\celeb\Genelia.jpg
iconarea_text=0x00FFFFFF
+ Here, the path in the 2nd line of code represents the path of your picture.The 3rd line indicates teh color ofthe text in the selected location.Complete list of html code colors can be obtained here.
+ Now save this file as DESKTOP.INI in the location(any drive or any folder) where you desire to set the background picture.
+ After setting it in your favourite location,close the drive and open the location again.
DONE !! .. your picture has been set as background picture for your desired location.
DONE !! .. your picture has been set as background picture for your desired location.
NOTE : Make sure that the extension in the path should be .jpg only and file should be saved as DESKTOP.INI only.
(OR SIMPLY)
+ Open notepad and copy the following code :
