Add background images to the context menu of Windows

For those not familiar with the name, Context Menu (Context Menu in English) is the menu that appears when you click the right mouse button. Through it, we have quick access to various system settings and options file or folder. But unlike all the other components of Windos 7, this menu is somewhat "boring", with minor differences compared to Windows XP.


To make it more interesting, the TechTudo created this tip, where you learn how to change the background image from the context menu (popup menu).

Note: the program works only on Windows XP, vista and 7 32-bit

Step 1. Download Context Menu 7 Image Changer and extract the contents of the folder.

Step 2. Click the program icon to run it and then click "Install DLL".

Step 3. If you use a standard user account, click the right mouse button and run the program as administrator.

Step 3. After confirming the installation, click "Browse Image ..." and select the image (jpeg, png, bmp) you want to put as the background context menu.

Step 4. Click "Apply" to apply the new background image.

Step 5. Click the right mouse button on an icon on the desktop or to verify the result. If the image does not appear immediately, click "Restart Explorer."
