Right-click on the background, Properties etc...
 
Right click a folder | Click Properties |
Click the Cutomize tab | Click the Choose Picture button

You have to be in Thumbnails view in order to see the picture on the folder.

[[You cannot customize the My Documents, My Pictures, and My Music folders.
However, you can customize the folders they contain. ]]
