Now open Notepad and paste following code:

[ExtShellFolderViews]
{BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC} = {BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}
[{BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}]
Attributes=1
IconArea_Image=image name
IconArea_Text=0x00000000

Now change "image name" with the wallpaper which you want to set as background. Suppose the wallpaper is “xxx.jpg", then the code will be as following

[ExtShellFolderViews]
{BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC} = {BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}
[{BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}]
Attributes=1
IconArea_Image=xxx.jpg
IconArea_Text=0x00000000

NOTE:-
    For adding xxx.jpg wallpaper as pen drives backgrounds it should be present inside the pen drive.

"IconArea_Text" stands for the text color, you can change it to white, yellow, blue, black or any other color. You just need to know the hexa-decimal number of the color and then replace the code in "IconArea_Text" section. A few most used color codes are as follows:
 
Black - 0x00000000
 White - 0x00FFFFFF
Green - 0x0000FF00
Blue - 0x00FF0000
Purple - 0x00C000C0
Red - 0x000000FF
Yellow - 0x0000FFFF
Indigo - 0x00FFFF00

Now save the notepad file as “Desktop.ini” (excluding quotes) and save it inside the pen drive.
 Now close and reopen the pen drive .you can enjoy the change.

B. for adding a personal icon to pen drive , you have to hack a “autorun.inf” fileNow open Notepad and paste following code:

[autorun]
OPEN=an.exe file name
ICON=an .ico file name
LABEL=pendive name

“an.exe file name” is stands for a file which you want to execute when you pin the pen drive to your system.
You can change it. Suppose you want to execute “xxx.exe” when you pin the pendrive to your system.
Then the code will be like:

[auto run]
OPEN=xxx.exe
ICON=an .ico file name
LABEL=pendive name

“an.ico file name” is stands for the icon which you want to see when you pin the pen drive to your system
You can change it. Suppose you want to see “xxx.ico” when you pin the pen drive to your system.
Then the code will be like:

[autorun]
OPEN=xxx.exe
ICON=xxx.ico
LABEL=pendive name

“Pendive name” stands for the name of the pendrive. Suppose name of your pen drive is “MIHIRBABU”.
Then the code will be like:

[autorun]
OPEN=xxx.exe
ICON=xxx.ico
LABEL=MIHIRBABU

Now save this note pad file as “autorun.inf” (excluding quotes) inside the pen drive.
NOTE:
      For change of icon the icon file (here “xxx.ico”) should present inside the pen drive.
Now remove the pen drive and pin it and enjoy the change.

NOTE:
