Navigate to the Folder whose background you want to change. Click Tools>Folder Options>Select View Tab.

Uncheck the options "Hide Operating System Files and Folders" and "HideExtensions For known File Types".
Click OK. Now check in the folder whose background you want to change.
If there is a file named desktop.ini there, open it with notepad and edit it. Else right click there and choose New>Text Document and double click to open it.
Now type in the Notepad file the following code:
Change the value "Path to your image file" with the address of the background image.(eg- C:\My Documents\bg.jpg)
If you're editing the folder's existing desktop.ini file, save the edited file and close your text editor. If you created a new text document, Goto File>Save As>Save it in that folder as"desktop.ini" (with the double quotes).
Once you've created your desktop.ini file for folders in Windows Vista or in Windows XP, click Start > Run >type in cmd and type in the command prompt window that opens the following code :
