Hello,
This is my first post to this forum. I really enjoy reading everyone's comments and wanted to thank you for hosting this forum.
Question: Does anyone know how to enable Folder Backgrounds in Windows 8 on a "PER FOLDER BASIS"? Windows XP,2000 could do this by default, and Windows 7 could do this with a 3rd party application.
This is the only remaining thing I would like to do in Windows 8, is to make Folder Backgrounds. (This is because my handicapped eyesight works a lot easier if I have folder wallpapers to help me with my work). Can anyone provide guidance on how to do this?
Below is a photo of what I am trying to do. See how the regular folder has a wallpaper picture?

Thank you very much,
Regards
Sabin
Edit: Solved the problem! See post repaste:
Ah, I was able to create a different wallpaper for each folder now. Note, that Winblinds Does NOT do this, and the developer said they would eventually. Thus,
... I found another freeware called AveFolderBG (which at the time of this post didnt work on Win8, but now it works on Win8!). I attached it (it is freeware, thankfully!) to this thread in case it gets deleted from the web, because i could not find its developer website. Its basically a Batch file with a a DLL. Nothing special.
I hope to share this with eightforums in case others who want PER FOLDER WALLPAPERS can use it.
Enjoy!

- Ubuntu 9.10 is the safest and optimal version with the of the Gnome2 Library files which is compatible with the base libraries. 10.04 is ok, but 12.04/14.04 onwards requires a powerful GPU, thus Ubuntu 9.10 is the best version of Ubuntu for life.
