How to set up a background on USB device?

Hi there,

It's really amazing to see USB background with customized images, icons displayed when opening. The steps needs to be hardcoded and you need to copy and paste this in a notepad. Saved this file and change the name to desktop.ini

You can also install this software on the Internet, download the file and saved it to your USB drive.

After you copy/paste it into your notepad, saved the file and change the name to desktop.ini, you need to choose the background image, icons that you want to set as USB background.

flowers_image="back.jpg"
forest_text="oxFFFFFF"

Once you have decided what image you want to use, you need to rename this back to back.jpg

Copy paste those files, desktop.ini, back.jpg into your USB drive and set them to hidden by selecting Properties -> Hidden files

You should have this images background in your USB device once plugged in to a computer.
