Solved How to remove 'setdesktopwallpaper' entry in context menu ?

Lucas North · Dec 16, 2023

I've tried several ways to rid myself of this issue but as of yet haven't found a solution.
I'm hoping that sharing my problem here that one of you smart fellows will find something I may have missed.
When I right click a jpeg or jpg file an entry in the context menu offers me to 'setdesktopwallpaper'
and try as I may I haven't been able to remove it.

The screenshots below show the context menu and the resulting message I am greeted with.
Hopefully someone here can help me rid myself of this.
Thanks in advance for taking the time to read.

Many thanks Sir_George for your speedy response, very much appreciated.
I assigned the files in question to another app and the offending menu item has gone.
Strange though because I've used 'Imageglass' for quite some time and never noticed this before.
I also reassigned imageglass back as the default program and the issue returned so I will
have to check out some other images viewers it would seem.

Thanks again sir for your help.

I don't recognize the icon associated with it. Maybe someone else does.
It appears that entry was added by some third party app or tweak that is installed or you once had and it did not completely uninstall. My first suggestion would be uninstall it (if it's currently installed) using Revo Uninstall Free (portable) Revo Uninstaller Free

Make sure to select any leftover files and registry entries that Revo finds and delete them.

If such an app or tweak is no longer installed and you remember what you used, reinstall the app and then cleanly uninstall it with Revo.

Barring that, there are a number of third party apps you can use to disable associated context menu entries. Explained well here. I've had success using them all at one time or another.

The Context Menu is a handy part of Windows that allows you to right-click on a file or folder and quickly perform frequently used actions. Some third-party applications add Context Menu items. You can also delete, edit, or add items yourself. Here's how.

If you are seeking a replacement image viewer, "IrfanView" has a very good reputation. If you are interested in trying it, see the link below.

Thank you also 'glasskuter' for your helpful response, I've taken all the suggestions on board from you all
and am deeply appreciative of all your help here in the forum.
The issue has been resolved and now I will find another viewer, IrfanView as Sir_George suggested seems a popular choice these days
so I will head over there and check it out.
Thanks again to all concerned.

I believe the icon is for the "Imageglass" app.
