You can do that in windows 2000 through view>customize this folder. For some reason you cannot change the back ground in WinXP.

If you really need it create it then here are a couple of ways to do it:

1. Download the ieshwiz.exe program and run it. I haven’t tried this so do it at your own risk.
A small tutorial with link to file:

2. Create the folder on the windows 2000 machine and copy the folder to the win XP machine.

Another link which you might find interesting:

Good luck.
