recently migrated to a new mbp so i didn't have this problem before, but i would set a background pic to my Home folder, turn off or reboot and the next time osx starts up, the pic would be gone and i would have to set it again, very annoying, anyone know how to fix this? thanks.
Got a tip for us?

Can't get Finder folder background to stick

Once you changed the background of the Finder, did you tell it to use it as the defaults?
Edit: Also make sure that all the Finder windows are closed. Then open up 1 Finder window and change the settings on that.

i tried setting it as the default but then every time i opened a window in finder, it had the background, which is not what i want, i only wanted it for that home folder. i have tried it with just one window opened, but every time i reboot, it has to be redone. :/
have you tried repairing your disk permissions?
if not, here's how.
APPLICATIONS > UTILITIES > DISK UTILITY
click on your harddrive on the left, click repair disk permissions.
restart the machine, test it.

hmm, well, i did repairing the permissions and it repaired a bunch of stuff, rebooted, setting still didn't stick. repaired again, rebooted, still the same. under view options, it just keeps going back to White instead of staying on Picture.
