Background Image for each folder type not showing.

Now before you get excited and hit reply to tell me what to do read this carefully and read it again if you have to.

1) I don't see a background image for any of my folder types on my system.

2) I already went into Advanced system settings to make sure it was checked, which it is, rebooted and nothing. Unchecked it, rebooted. Checked it, rebooted. Nothing.

3) I have done nothing to my system. I do not install 3rd party themes. I do not use any tweak programs to modify the appearance of anything.

So what's the deal? Why am I not seeing a background image for each folder type?

Let's review:

1) No background image for each folder type.

2) Already went into Advanced system settings to check the option there.

3) No 3rd party apps installed ever or tweaking done.

Ideas? Perhaps it's been removed in the lastest version of Vista?

P.S.

I already went into Advanced system settings to check the option in case you didn't know.

Hello Pharaoh,

You might use the free program Vista Folder Background instead to accomplish this easier in Vista.

Hope this helps,

Seen that. Don't want it. I guess I should emphasize that if I paid 260 dollars to buy an entirely new OS for my computer, I expect all the features to work by default. I do not want to have to tweak, modify or install any kind of 3rd party app to get the result. For the most part, I like every thing the way it is.

I actually do not care if there is a background image for each folder type, however I just want to know that it does work. And since it is not, I want to know why.

I can understand that, but I have not seen it work yet in Vista despite the option being there. I have no clue as to why it does not, or to why the option is there since it does not work.

The free program above is the only way that I know of to have that feature with a program that is safe to use in Vista.

Oohhhh so it doesn't work for you either. I thought it was just me.

Okay okay... the fog is clearing...

Hm.

So funny all the 3rd party themes that are out there, the creators make themes that do have an image in the background. Usually found in the shellstyle.dll of the theme I believe.

Okay, Okay. Not freaking out as much now.
