Set as Desktop Background

Since installing the latest set of updates and Office
Student and Teacher Edition 2003, a change has come over
my system. Whenever I right-click on an image, it does
not give me the option to set it as my desktop in the
menu. Any ideas what might be causing this and how it can
be fixed?

Many thanks

Martin

Hi Martin,

Sounds like you lost your picture file association.

Try doing the following:

Start -> Run -> regsvr32 %windir%\system32\shimgvw.dll
Close and reopen the window and see if it has restored the Picture Tasks.

Please let us know if this resolves your problem.

Thanks,
