How do you change the font color/ background color in folders (XP)

from WinCustomize Forums
Alright... I rememberd on Windows 2000 that you could modify folder backgrounds... like make them black or have a picture on them.. then change the font color of all the items in that folder. I Imported a folder that was like that from a disk... and on windows xp it had a picture background and different color font. I was wondering if you guys knew how to do this on xp. I didn't see any hidden folder, or any place to modify it.

Thanks.

Ok try this (Note: I have ME so I am making educated guesses): Once your in the folder oyu want to alter, clisk on the "View" menu at the top. In ME there is something that says "Customize This Folder." Once you click on that, a box comes up that lets you change all the settings you described above. I dont know if its similar on XP but try and see. Good luck!

Yea... by saying windows 2000, I meant ME. When you do that on XP all that comes down is a menure asking if you want to change the look of the folder (like into on icon)... or if you want to put a picture over the folder. Then above that is just asks for folder type (Video...Picture...Files..) Which determines how the icons will look basically. It doesn't have that option like ME does. I was just wondering because the folders I saved on ME (when they are put on XP) they are still altered. I am just wondering if somone knows how to do that in XP =oP
