For another useful USB tutorial on recovering deleted files from USB drives, click here.
I suppose we all have tried to give background images to our desktop folders. How about setting the same background to our USB devices (Pen drive, Portable Hard Disks etc.) as well? That background image will be seen on every computer you plug in that USB device.
It’s really a 3 step process. Let’s begin:-
1.) Copy Paste the following code in the notepad and rename that notepad file to desktop.ini (Just make sure when you paste this code, the Double Quotes are in Notepad format otherwise type the Double quotes manually from your keyboard.)
[{BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}]
iconarea_image=“back.jpg”
iconarea_text=”0xFFFFFF”
2.) Choose any image of your choice and rename it to back.jpg
3.) Copy Paste both these files (i.e. desktop.ini and back.jpg) into your USB device and make them hidden by selecting Properties -> Hidden Files.
That’s it. You are done.
Just REFRESH your screen and you will see your image on background.
So, how you feel about this technique?

Hi,
I copied the code to put a desktop image on my flashdrive but I accidentally dropped it in my documents folder and now all the folder names are gone. I tried to locate the notepad file titled “desktop.ini” by doing a search of the whole computer but it cannot be located.I even looked under hidden files. I am not able to fix it.

Be careful with the “quotes”. the character encoding is not the same with that of notepad, which use ASCII. FOr sure, delete the quotes and retype them.
