Pictures Folder.

Okay, step by step.

  1. Go to the Pictures folder on your drive.
  2. Put the picture you want to use there.
  3. Rename it to
    portableapps_wallpaper.bmp
  4. Unplug your drive, and plug it back in.
  5. Smile.

Insert original signature here with Greasemonkey Script.

I think you actually have to

I think you actually have to SAVE the file as a bmp and not just rename it, and it doesn't appear to work on windows2000.

when I get a chance I will try it out on my XP

Yes must be bitmap

Yes, to confirm, it must be a bitmap. Just about any image software, including MS Paint, can save as bitmap. 24-bit if you're given the choice (though I'm not sure it matters, but an 8-bit bitmap will severely degrade your image).
