Change The Explorer Toolbar Background

Change The Explorer Toolbar Background

To change the toolbar background in Internet explorer and Windows explorer you will have to add some registry value.
Go to start > type regedit > hit enter, Browse the following location:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar\

Create a new string value called BackBitmap and type in a path to a bitmap (remember "a BITMAP", not the jpg or gif),
e.g.
c:\windows\some.bmp
This did not work for me, I tried using 'double slashes',
e.g
c:\\windows\\some.bmp
and it worked.

You can place the image anywhere in hard disk. You have to know the path just. Use big image. Preferably 1600X200 pixels.
