Hi
I've been talking with Veegertx about changing the Windows load screen in another post and that brought me to a strange issue.
I created a folder with a sub folder in Windows Explorer and placed an image in it by copying and pasting it.
Later when I wanted to edit the image I tried to open it in Adobe Photoshop.
When I open Windows Explorer I can see the file structure, but the Photoshop Open, dialog, doesn't show the Info folder?

As you can see there is no Info folder in the Photoshop Open Box!
What’s going on here?

Yeah I don't get it. It seems like they just complicated the issue with all that. I guess they're just showing all the Height to Width ratios you can use. But immediately under the table it says this:
"NOTE: Images must be less than 256kb in size. Thanks for pushing me to investigate, Jay C".
I guess that's all that really matters. I set mine up soon after the Release Candidate came out. That's been like a year and a half ago. It's not too fresh in my mind any more.

With Irfanview I start with huge 1920 x 1200 nice image. I copy to new name (background768x1280.jpg) and change first image resolution to what is needed. Then I compress with Irfanview.
This is what I done hacking imagres.dll

Hi
I finally think I get it, I started with a 1920 by 1200 image.
I saved it as a .jpg file and I couldn't get the size below 256 K, no matter how high I set the jpg compression.
I started making it smaller step by step and finally at 1300 by 870 using almost maximum compression (there is a compression slider when you save it) I could get the file down to 256 k.
I plugged it into the folder and it works.
The image isn't real sharp because of the compression but it's usable.

Awesome. It's good to get rid of that gay looking Windows log on screen isn't it? I never really hated it but I thought I could do better.
I am keeping same resolution 1920 x 1200 2.15 MB and drop it to 1920 x 1200 592 KB
That is size needed for img0.jpg found in a lot of places.
I originally was using Paintshop 7 really old version I had but each time it starts the taskbar goes dull. Thats when I found Irfanview would do what I needed
