Works ok for me!

It adds a folder background tab to folder properties.

You may need to install this first:

it always asys "C:\ME\Desk...\VistaFolderBackground.dll" failed to load

Makesure the binary is stored at the specified path or debug it to check for problems with the binary or dependent .DLL files.

The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect please see the application event log for more detail

what does that mean i get that every time i try to install

Not sure, the program has only 2 requirements:

1. You are running Windows Vista

2. You have Visual Studio 2005 SP1 Runtime Files installed:

I didn't get any warnings when i ran the install file.

@Foxhound,

When you right click a folder, is it that menu background you wish to change?
