Windows 10: How do I add folder background on fav folders using ave folder

Discus and support How do I add folder background on fav folders using ave folder in Windows 10 Customization to solve the problem; I suggested that because I remembered doing something similar from folder properties in Windows 7 without third-party utilities. Not sure if it works... Discussion in 'Windows 10 Customization' started by Kratos, Aug 6, 2015.

    How do I add folder background on fav folders using ave folder


    I wish it was that easy but it hasn't worked since win 7. AVE was just an even easier way to do it.

    Have you tried AVE in Windows 7 compatibility mode? Probably you have, but I just say it in case you didn't.

    Have tried every possible workaround that i as a non coder could've tried but it only works when i have properties pop up info box opened. As soon as I close the box the background again vanishes. It seems something in Win8 and Win10 forces ave folder injection dll to shutdown or something.

    I see what you mean. I installed it on 10. My customization's are still there from years ago since I have have partitions and multiboot. As long as I leave that window with the folder background tab open it works.
    But it seems to not respond when I set an image as background and hit apply. I remember that happening when win8 first came out. But the background image is still set.
    Seems like it wouldn't be that hard to fix since it is working. Just that VistaFolderBackground.dll would need to be modified. I can't program. We need one of you smart programmers to take a look *Huh Anyone up for the challenge?

    Hi all

    Sadly , there is no easy way or possible way to set a picture as explorer background but using:

    - either directory opus ( as you may see on my screen )

    - or tweak with some tools like resource hacker / vista style builder
    ( like the theme I made under win 7 with custom start menu background for deviantart )

    But under win 10 , this seem very tough to locate the editable parts with vista style builder , so I gave up for the moment and wait like you for another windows 7 background changer like

    Cheers

    Well I will keep using AVEFolderBG with the tab open on a secondary monitor for now. I can live with the little crash.

    How do I add folder background on fav folders using ave folder

    Yeah the issue is exactly how doctorwizz described above. So here's hoping someone will make a new version of ave that is compatible with Win8-10.
