Hi,

Does anyone know how to delete the highlighted items in the image below? My Googling failed.

Hi there,

I don't think this is actually possible... Why would you want to or need to anyway?

Hi, D3LL,

I accidentally clicked one of them, permanently reducing the quality of one of my favorite wallpapers.

You tried right clicking on your favourite wallpaper and then going to restore previous version? Or even just try finding the wallpaper again?

It will be more hassle trying to remove them buttons.

The problem is not restoring the previous version; I was able to do find the wallpaper again fairly easily. What I want to do is prevent that mistake from happening again, i.e., remove those items from the context menu.

I don't think its possible and will probably just corrupt more of your system. There is no point.

This seems to suggest that my system is already corrupt. It isn’t!

In any case, I highly doubt that such a removal would harm anything except for my ability to rotate files via the context menu, which I fervently welcome!

Thanks, brotherboard. Unfortunately, though, it wasn’t able to do what I wanted.
