AveFolderBG Adds Change Folder Background Option To Folder Properties In Windows 7 (Must Have Extension For Windows 7)
Posted June 9, 2010 – 10:24 am in: Windows 7 GuidesBarely a day after we blogged about Windows 7 Folder Background Changer tool we have come across an awesome explorer extension that makes changing folder background even more simple.
The tool we are talking about is AveFolderBG. AveFolderBG integrates Change Folder Background option into Folder properties. In other words, you need not run any tool to start changing folder background image.
AveFolderBG is simply fantastic compared to other utilities as it integrates into the Windows shell to give you a quick access. It also lets you customize text color with shadow effects.
How to install and use it:
# Download (download x32 & download x64) and extract the zip contents. Make sure that you are downloading the right version as the add-on is available both in 32-bit and 64-bit versions.
# Open the folder, right-click on Install file (.bat file) and select Run as administrator. Click Yes and then Ok for the prompt.
# You are done! To change the background of a folder, right-click on the folder, select Properties to see Folder Background tab.
If you often customize your Windows 7 Folder background, then this is the perfect tool as you can now change the background without running any tool. We have tested tit on Windows 7 Ultimate x86 and it works great. Note that the zip pack also comes with uninstall file so that you can uninstall it any time. Good luck!

i wouldn’t work on my pc..after i installed it, the image won’t appear..i have already restarted my laptop, but still the image won’t appear.why is that so?
I had a similar problem with some folders not able to set an image background. Examing the ‘desktop.ini’ file in the troublesome folders had a few extra settings (unknown what they control) compared to those folders that were OK.
The simplest way I found was to re-create another folder then move the file contents of the original folder into the new folder. Don’t copy/move any ‘desktop.ini’ files even in any nested folders that are also giving trouble.
Delete the original folder after confiming all the files have been sucessfully moved, then delete the old folder. Rename the new folder to the old folder name. Empty the recycle bin to make sure the old folder does’nt get accidently restored (optional).
Windows 7 x64.
