Re: can we change the Drive window background 

^^ You can change the background color from "Desktop Properties -> Appearance -> Advanced -> Window". You can change any desired color there.

Re: can we change the Drive window background 

Well, the Windows Explorer can put different backgrounds on them to help you remember. Just create a file at the root of your drive called desktop.ini and place the following in it:



[ExtShellFolderViews]

{BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}={BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}

[{BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}]

Attributes=1

IconArea_Image=background.gif


Edit the last line of code (IconArea_Image=C:\My Folder Background.jpg) to the path of your picture,
Next, find a washed-out image or create a light color in MSPAINT and put it there called background.gif. (be sure to make the file type a GIF too) or change the address to the address of picture you want to choose save the file and close it. Refresh your folder and it should have the new background. Open Windows Explorer and see your creation! It makes me remember that I’m on my external drive instead of my internal one....
