Default Customizing Folder Backgrounds

I have a folder that I have tiled a picture on sometime ago & can't remember
how I did it. I'm using XP with SP2. I'm wondering if perhaps I did it
using 98 & it stayed when I did the upgrade. It's just a game folder & when
you open it there is a picture tiled 4 times on the background. You can
still see the files in the folder. I want to do this to other folders, but
am having a brain fart. Any help would be appreciated.

Default Customizing Folder Backgrounds

Thanx a bunch for the utility. I'm sure I didn't use any of these methods,
which leads me to believe I did it in win98. One other thing, though...when
I choose to edit the folder as html, I can't find where to add a line to
change the font color. Some of the backgrounds I want to use are rather dark
& a white font would be ideal.
Thanks again...
