Need app set Background picture for USBdrive & hide .jpe

[Island Boy]

Need apps (portable of possible) to set Background picture for USB drive, also to "Super Hide" the .jpeg file. (I might delete it by mistake)

"Hide my crap!" gives dum error message on some PCs.

To change the background image of a folder in Windows Explorer, check out http://perishablepress.com/press/2006/1 ... -in-winxp/.

As for hiding the jpg file, create a bat file called hide.bat containing this line:

Code: Select all

attrib +s +h %1

then simply drag any files you want hiding onto it.
This will add the system attribute so they will be invisible unless you turn off "Hide protected operating system files" in Folder options.

I know this isn't really a portable app, but it does the job!

Thanks noureahu. Big help.


tip
To unhide file or folder:

Code: Select all

attrib -s -h %1

I found a nice simple little app (portable) to set background picture for USB drive (or folders on USB drives)

"SMarmotte's Customize Folder"

N.B. It's French but it works.
