Here is a step-by-step tutorial :

Step 1) First make a new folder in which you want to add background. For explanation I take a folder as Akhil.

Step 2) Now open Notepad, copy and paste the following code in it.

[ExtShellFolderViews]
{BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}={BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}
[{BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}]
IconArea_Image=path of the image

Step 3) Now in the IconArea_Image just enter the path of the image that you want to set as background. If the image is in the same folder then no need to give the path simply enter the name of the image along with the extension i.e
IconArea_Image=background.jpg

Step 4) Now save the notepad file and name is as Desktop.INI

That's it ! Just open you folder and now you can see the folder with the selected image as background.

This is how it looks :

To remove the Background Image simple change the image path to "no image " without quotes i.e.,
IconArea_Image=no image
