Pretty cool explorer add-on. Thanks for not setting up any expiry date this time

I like the look of this but it doesn't work for me :\ Just stays normal even if i set a background.

[BentWookie]

Same thing for me. I set the background image but it stays with just the normal blank background.

Interesting, I'll give it a try.

I haven't rebooted yet. I wonder if that's the problem.

I'll try this in a bit and I'll report back how it worked...

[BentWookie]

Its working for me now. I think the problem was the picture I was using for the background was mostly white on top and was rather large. When I maximized the explorer window I could see the picture. So now I'm just using a smaller picture. Not sure what the exact right size to use is. Would be nice if it would resize the picture to fit the window size.

It won't install for me. I get an error message>

[ThunderROM]

Exactly what error message did you see?
Make sure you have Visual Studio 2005 SP1 Runtime installed and manually run the install.bat with admin privileges.

Updated, added the possibility to apply a background to all subfolders automatically.

My explorer.exe just crashes with this app, but it look great anyway.
