    Is there a way to Set one picture to all folder backgrounds, from a single location and command, Currently i use a Desktop.ini file in the folders i want to use a picture as my background, In this configuration file i include the following:

    [.ShellClassInfo]
    ConfirmFileOp=0

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

    [{BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}]
    Attributes=1
    IconArea_Image=Folder Settings\Background.jpg
    IconArea_Text=0x00FFFFFF
    IconArea_TextBackground=0x00000000

    Is it possible to add a line in the system variables or elsewhere that would do this for me for every folder and use the same image stored in one location.
    Currently i have to use a file like this in each folder and include a folder settings folder with the image inside it. This would be far to tedious to go through each folder in my harddrive. surely there must be a easier way to go about this???
