To make a folder look like a Web page

You can change a folder's background in two ways: by adding a picture or by making it into a Web page.

  1. In My Computer or Windows Explorer, open the folder that you want to customize.
  2. On the View menu, click Customize this Folder.
  3. To add a picture to your folder background, click Choose a background picture. In the wizard, you can also select colors for the text and text background in your folder.

    To turn your folder background into an HTML document, click Create or edit an HTML document, and then follow the steps in the wizard to edit the folder template using HTML. For example, you might want to add a line of text explaining the folder contents, or change the font or color of the folder title.
