If you are a asking for a condition where you open the folder and then it has a background then there is absoulely a way. The code I have posted here should work. Open notepad type the code and then save it as a desktop.ini file in the folder you want it to have a wallpaper. The code is as follows: [ExtShellFolderViews] {BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}=... [{BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}... Attributes=1 IconArea_Image=1.JPG IconArea_Text=f00eef99 [.ShellClassInfo] ConfirmFileOp=0 ***In the code replace Image1.jpg with the image name that you want to use. Make sure that the image is in the same folder as the file. ***After adding the code click save as. Then click all files and type destop.ini and save it in the folder
Virus that changes wallpaper?
When you start the computer, have you tried hitting F8 multiple times? If you do, the screen should allow you to access "Safe Mode." If Vista/XP begins to start, then you have not accessed the control panel to select Safe Mode. Once you are in Safe Mode, there you can remove most viruses. However, if you do not have certain anti-malware programs, there really is no point. My suggestion to you is to download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware from another computer and save the file onto a USB/CD drive. It is 100% free and it destroys most viruses. Once you download it, install the program in Safe Mode and run the program. Let it scan and if there are viruses, it will search and destroy them. http://download.cnet.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html?tag=mncol;pm

Computer still freezing after a system restore, help?
Hi I tried looking for an answer everywhere, but no luck. My problem. I came home one day, and my computer was frozen, the screen black, had to press the power button to restart. I had no idea what could have happened, the pc worked fine before i left the house earlier. I tried doing a system restore by myself, nope, it kept freezing at 50% or more. Farthest iv gone was maybe 98% before it froze. I took the PC to Geek Squad. They cleaned all the dust out, and restored the pc, and ran diagnostics. They said everything was fine, and it must have been the dust. I come home, start downloading all the updates, 10 min later, my pc freezes. So i have to do a power button thing again. I got really mad. Since that point on, the pc kept freezing at random times. I downloaded CCleaner, and other programs to fix the registry. They helped a little. Now the PC only seems to freeze when i watch youtube videos, browse through pictures, or try to watch movies, and play games. It freezes on me at random times, i could watch 5 youtube videos and then it will freezes, i can watch 1 video and it would freeze. I can open a facebook game and it will freeze. I dont know what to do anymore, at first i thought it was the memory, but its good. Now im thinking it might be the graphics card, but geek squad said it was alright. So my pc still freezes, and i dont know what to do. My PC: -VISTA 64 Bit (Home Premium) -Intel Pentium Dual-Core Desktop Processor E2200 -4096 MB System memory -500 GB Hard Drive -Nividia GeForce 7100 graphics card.

How do I find my teenage daughter's computer history?
My 14 year old daughter has "I love Adam" written all over her notebooks. I don't know of anyone named Adam at her school, so I asked who's Adam. He is her Internet boyfriend that she met in a chat room!?!?! She met him at OMGPOP.com, which looks like an innocent site. I want to find her computer history and see what correspondence that they have had. Is there a site to give me instructions on how to do this? Are copies of the chat room that they participated in, on her computer? How do I track where she has been and what she did? Right now, I have taken her computer away from her. I am concerned about this because her attitude has changed. She says that no one understands her like Adam does.

I FOUND OUT HOW FOR REAL THIS TIME TYPE THIS IN INSTEAD /smap nazi_zombie_subway you have to put an s instead of just /map try that WAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT AGAIN GOT IT TO WORK FOR MYSELF THIS TIME IM FOR SURE turns out you can edit more than twice okay listen my dad below me didn't find that out so yeah anyway just put a space at the end of the command line alright
Why is it that I am unable to uninstall a certain program on Windows Vista?
Did you try restarting your computer? It sounds like the uninstaller is running in the background but never launched. If it still does won't uninstall, something is wrong with the uninstaller and I recommend downloading Revo Uninstaller from http://www.download.com/Revo-Uninstaller/3000-2096_4-10687648.html?tag=lst-1 . When it gets to step 2, press CTRL+ALT+DEL and press task manager. Look for any processes that say "Setup" or "Installer" (not revo) and right click and end process. Then press next and Revo will manually go through and find files of the program to delete, including the registry. Delete ONLY the bold items in the registry and DO NOT press select all (that will delete entire folders of your registry)... manually check the bold items and select delete. But you can press select all and delete the files on the next screen. That should take care of it. Another option is to re-install the program to get a new uninstaller and then try uninstalling it. As for the Vista comment, this problem has nothing to do with Vista, it's a bad uninstaller that won't launch and hangs. In my experience, Vista is much more reliable and responsive than XP (without the Aero theme activated).
