No folder will have a desktop.ini by default. You've to create it manually!

Guess you already changed your avatar.

Please do! You've to follow these steps -

1) Open Notepad, add the 2 lines -

[{BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}]
'IconArea_Image=C:\Documents and Settings\Adam\Desktop\janine--.JPG'

2) Save the file as desktop.ini. Close the file.

3) Click on Start->Run->attrib +s

Donot close the Run command, open the folder that you want to customize, go to its parent folder or the root appropriately(click the UP button). Select the folder you want to customize, drag it into the Run command and drop it in the Text Field. You should see the Folder's name within " and ". So for example, if the folder's name is Stone in the C drive then it should look like "C:\Stone". Next click the OK button or hit the Enter key. Thats it, the folder's attribute will change to System. Open the customized folder, I'm sure you'll see the change.

Well how far could you go? Did you create the desktop.ini file correctly? Did you save it with the extension ini? You should see the file as a configuration file and not as a plain text file.

Did you also try the attrib +s and "folder" command in Start->Run?

No I dont use my MSN id for chat!

Ok. Try this -

Start->Run->attrib +s "C:\Documents and Settings\Adam\Desktop\Crap\PoRn" [enter]

Hope the desktop.ini file is in the same folder. It should work now!
