The utility that Microsoft left out, Windowpaper XP lets you put colour or photo backgrounds in any Win XP folder.         — Wanda Sloan of the Bangkok Post

Summary

One feature we particularly enjoyed from Windows 98 ™ on up was the ability to change the wallpaper of a folder as well as the text color of the icons in that folder. This would help make each folder easier to identify and would bring a personal touch to my PC.

As Windows XP ™ Home/Pro was released, many have realized that Microsoft had removed our ability to change wallpaper of our folders! Shortly after we realized the trouble on our machines, we got to work on a solution. We've found that Microsoft™ did not remove the ability to change the background and text color but instead hid the interface.

It's fairly simple for anyone to add wallpaper to a Windows XP ™ folder; however, it can get very tedious if done repeatedly. We've created a small freeware utility which handles all the hard work for you: Windowpaper XP!

Features

  • Intuitive 1, 2, 3 Interface - Windowpaper XP is simple to use. Simply select the folder you wish to modify, your background, your text color, and you're set!
  • Real-time preview window - Watch your changes happen as you make them!
  • Change Folder Color - Just want a solid background color instead of a picture? You got it! With a simple click, you can change the folder background color to one of sixteen million supported colors.
  • Batch Folder Customization - Many people have e-mailed about adding batch functionality to the new version. Well, you asked and we listened! Just check the "Include Subfolders" checkbox and you not only modify the selected folder, but all the folders in it!
  • Change Folder Background Shortcut - Without opening Windowpaper, all you have to do is right click any folder on your hard drive and select "Change Folder Background..."

Minimum System Requirements

  • Requires Microsoft Windows XP Home or Professional ™ - Other versions of Microsoft Windows are not supported since previous versions already have the capability to modify folder backgrounds.
  • ~5 Megabytes (MB) of Disk Space for Full Install - May be less depending upon your selected installation options.
  • ~6 Megabytes (MB) of Memory - May be more or less depending upon selected Windowpapers (32 MB or more is recommended)
