Save as a Background Preset?

Hi All,

I cannot remember, if I can save a shape layer as a background preset? I have a my preset folder. I created to save multi effects as a preset.

I want to save a shape layer with a gradient on it, as a background layer. Albeit a simple 'to create' I want to know how and if I can save it as a preset. To import as I see fit.

Thanks

NC
