I have a folder that I have tiled a picture on sometime ago & can't remember
how I did it.  I'm using XP with SP2.  I'm wondering if perhaps I did it
using 98 & it stayed when I did the upgrade.  It's just a game folder & when
you open it there is a picture tiled 4 times on the background.  You can
still see the files in the folder.  I want to do this to other folders, but
am having a brain fart.  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanx a bunch for the utility.  I'm sure I didn't use any of these methods,
which leads me to believe I did it in win98.  One other thing, though...when
I choose to edit the folder as html, I can't find where to add a line to
change the font color.  Some of the backgrounds I want to use are rather dark
& a white font would be ideal.
Thanks again...
