This is indeed a puzzle.
Could it be hidden in the boot blocks?
I've wondered about this too. Is there any way to track what happens
when a folder's background image is set in the view options palette?
It's clearly something at system level, as custom folder view settings
are 'user-agnostic', and it's clearly just a pointer of some kind
(rather than an image stored in an invisible '.background' folder), and
not cached in RAM or anywhere else because blitzing the original image
instantly removes it from the folder window it was assigned to.
This must mean that whenever a folder is opened (or, more accurately,
whenever a folder is targetted in a Finder window) the Finder retrieves
info from somewhere (a preference file?) about the background settings
and probably other view options for that folder. I'd be thrashing
around in the dark if I went looking for the file containing that info,
but perhaps someone with better-adapted eyes could find it.
