folder backgrounds


Notice how you can change the background image of your desktop?  Well, you can do the same with your windows xp folder as well with a windows program called ieshwiz.exe.  Just download it and put it into any folder and double click it and alter your folder.  Then remove it and put it into another folder and do it again.  It's kinda fun really.

For a new theme to your windows desktop theme you can go to download.com.


When reinstalling Windows XP I had a few problems.
