1.  Double-click the "My Computer" icon from the Desktop.
2.  Navigate to the folder which you would like to apply the background to.
3.  Click the View menu and select "Customize This Folder..." from the menu that appears.
4.  Check the "Choose a Background Picture" option.
5.  Click Next.
6.  Select a picture from the list, or if you have another image that you want to use, click the "Browse..." button and locate the image.
7.  You can also change the icon caption colors if the default color doesn't show up well on the background image.
8.  Click Next.
9.  Click Finish.
10.  Your background image will now be applied to the folder.

*ten* steps to this incredibly simple process!
i am astonished!
Is this the mark of a good technical writer? *I* could do that! watch:

Tie Your Shoelaces
1 bend over
2 pick up one end of one of your shoelaces with one of your hands
3 pick up the other end of the same shoelace with your other hand
et cetera ad infinitum...

no wonder those MCSE books are so huge!
