1. Open Notepad and Paste the following code in there.
[.ShellClassInfo]
IconFile=icon.ico
IconIndex=0
[ExtShellFolderViews]
{BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}={BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}
[{BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}]
IconArea_Image=backgroud.jpg
IconIndex=0
[ExtShellFolderViews]
{BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}={BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}
[{BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}]
IconArea_Image=backgroud.jpg
You can replace "icon.ico" by your filename for the icon. Also, you can replace "background.jpg" by your file name. But note that the file format should be ico and jpg respectively.
2. Go to file menu and choose save as . Choose the 'Save As Type' as 'All Files'. Name the file as Desktop.ini and save it in the folder whose apperence you want to change.
3. Now copy and paste the background and icon file in the same folder as the one with the 'desktop.ini' file.
4. Select all the files ( background.jpg , icon.ico and the Desktop.ini files ) and right click and choose properties and check the box which says hidden.
5. Your folder is now ready. When you reboot your system, you will see the end result.
PS : If you have an image and want it converted into an icon, please visit ConvertICO , a really nice website to make all your images into an icon.
