Costumizing your flash drive.

For you to be able to put a background image in your flash drive, you should make a text file called "desktop.ini" Just copy and paste this text to your notepad :

[.ShellClassInfo]
IconFile=%SystemRoot%\system32\SHELL32.dll
IconIndex=127
ConfirmFileOp=0

[{BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}]
Attributes=1
IconArea_Image="a.jpg"
IconArea_Text="0x473C8B"
VeBRA sources
[ExtShellFolderViews]
{BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}={BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}
{5984FFE0-28D4-11CF-AE66-08002B2E1262}={5984FFE0-28D4-11CF-AE66-08002B2E1262}

[{5984FFE0-28D4-11CF-AE66-08002B2E1262}]
PersistMoniker=Folder.htt
PersistMonikerPreview=%WebDir%\folder.bmp


and save it as "desktop.ini"

As you see, IconArea_Image="a.jg" where as "a.jpg" is equivalent to an image or a .jpg file
