reading this post,
All you need to do is, just Copy & Paste the below code to notepad,then save it as
“desktop.ini”
[.ShellClassInfo]
IconFile=%SystemRoot%\system32\SHELL32.dll
IconIndex=127
ConfirmFileOp=0
[{BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}]

[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
Some Information On Above Code:
1. Where “YourPictureName.jpg” is, delete that and replace with your picture name for
example “Transformers Frenzy.gif”
Note:
Please check that Picture format (.jpg , .bmp, .gif) properly else this hack won’t work.
2. If your Picture is white colour then folder names will not be clear so change the
IconArea_Text=‖0xFFFFFF‖ to IconArea_Text=‖0x000000‖
3. Save the notepad as “desktop.ini”.
4. Place both your notepad file (i.e) desktop.ini and your picture in Pendrive.
5. Set the above files attributes as Hidden.
6. Refresh(F5) and Enjoy with your new background.
