i'll have a play but in your my music folder the background is different to the my documents so must be there somewhere. although if you were meant to change it you'd of thought they would make it slightly more obvious.

For the toolbar do this:

To configure a background for Windows Explorer toolbars, perform the following steps:
*Start a registry editor (e.g., regedit.exe).
*Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar.
*From the Edit menu, select New - String Value.
*Enter a name of BackBitmapShell, and press Enter.
*Double-click the new value, set it to the name and location of the bitmap file you want to use for your background (e.g., c:\windows\zapotec.bmp), and click OK.
*Close the registry editor.
