Change the appearance of your folders








Today I will show your how to change the folder's icons, the wallpapers of your folder's desktops and the colors of your folder's names

Change icons:
Right click on your folder--->Properties--->Customize--->Change Icon--->In the 'Look for icons in this file', choose your icon files (*.ico,*.exe files) --->OK




Change the wallpapers of foler's desktops:
Go to the foler that you've set the icon, in the address bar, type '...\desktop.ini'
Your notepad will appear, like this

[.ShellClassInfo]
IconFile=G:\My Softwares\Desktop Folder Icons\GBAk6v1.ico
IconIndex=0

Add this to your notepad:

ConfirmFileOp=0
[ExtShellFolderViews]
{BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}={BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}
[{BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}]
Attributes=1
IconArea_Image=

And how to do that on CD or DVD?
I mean when there isn't folders, only files in the root of the CD or DVD ROM.
