That's great for changing the icon of a Library, but not the background image (ie: the underlay the library contents are displayed in)

Though that did lead me down some research paths I didn't know about before. Unfortunately through all the sources I didn't find any references to a schema element that would change/set a background image.

How about this: Use Images As Folder Background In Windows 7 [Customization]

Never mind…I just read on another forum that this does not work on the libraries folder. Sorry, maybe someone else can offer a tip.

Yeah. That tool is just a wrapper around desktop.ini edits. Unfortunately, Libraries are not folders and don't follow folder rules for a bunch of lower level operations. I may be out of luck here.

Maybe there's one tool that will work. It edits many properties of the libraries folder, but there's not a written list of what those are. Windows 7 Library Tool
