Well, to completely make your USB drive look good. I will teach you how to customize USB drive folder's plain white background. So it will have a nice picture of yours or cool background. Just Follow the Steps:
Procedure for Windows Vista and 7
First of all put the image file ( eg. test.jpg) in the folder of the Flash drive. Then create a text file there and rename it to desktop.ini to the folder of the Flash drive.. Make sure it's not a .txt file.
Then open the desktop.ini file in notepad and enter following content.
Code:
[ExtShellFolderViews]
{BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}={BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}
[{BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}]
IconArea_Image=test.jpg
