Removing Customized Background in Windows Explorer

[BL]

I have a user who upgraded from an older (Win 98 or Win
NT?) to XP. In the older version, she was able to
customize one of her Windows Explorer folders with a
picture as the background. Now, after upgrading to XP,
she no longer wants to use that picture as the background
but can't find a way to remove the customization she did
on the older OS. Any ideas?

Thanks,
BL

Hi,
Look for a file called desktop.ini in that folder and delete it. You may
have to turn on the view to show hidden and system files thorugh
tools>folder options>view uncheck "Hide protected system files".
