How to set a Background Image in Pendrive?

Last Updated on February 27, 2022 by Vinay Kharayat

Hello guys. Today I brought you a very cool trick. Now using this trick you can set any image as a background image on your PC. This trick can come in handy if you lost your Pendrive and the person found would like to return it to you. Just set your contact details as background in your Pendrive before taking the Pendrive to your office or school function.

You can also set your company’s logo as background before giving it to other people in order to look even more professional. There could be tons of other reasons to set a background image in your Pendrive. Also, I forgot to mention that you can set background anywhere on your PC using this trick. Just copy paster desktop.ini and background.jpg to any folder and that’s it.

What is the use of Desktop.ini File?

Folders are generally displayed with the standard folder icon. A common use of the Desktop.ini file is to assign a custom icon or thumbnail image to a folder. You can also use Desktop.ini to make an info tip that displays details about the folder and controls some aspects of the folder’s behavior, such as setting localized names for the folder or items in the folder.

Further details about the Desktop.ini file can be found in Microsoft’s Official Docs. If you want to learn more about Desktop.ini just visit Microsoft Docs :).
