Good Day..........I Have Windows 7 PRO 32 bit.
Looking for help on adding a program for right click Menu on a web page image.
So far, I have not found info to add anything to this menu.
The program I want to add is xp paint.exe

The Menu i have comes up as............


Open link in new tab
Open link in new window
Open link in new private window
Bookmark this link
Save link as.....
Save link to pocket
Copy link location
View image
Copy image
Copy image location
Save image as......
Email image
Set as desktop background.....
View image info
Send link to device ->
Inspect accessibility properties
Inspect element (Q)
Open image new tab
ABP (Adblocker) Block Element


Reason I want to add this program is because some of the images I want to save are .webp images & they do not save.

I can copy image and manually open xp paint & paste the image & save as .jpg.
This would save a step in the process.

Any help,or ideas would be much appreciated. :D

So right off the bat the mention of your OS, Windows 7 Pro is inconsequential to what you want to do. What is consequential is the type of browser you're using. Based on the list of context menu items, I'm assuming you're referring to Firefox or one of its niche derivatives. I think the solution to your issue is the file handler. You would need to associate the webp format to a file handler in the browser. In this case XP Paint. To do that follow these instructions:

In the browser go to Options | General and scroll down to Applications. In the search box enter webp. Now click the Action tab and select "Use other..." and browse to XP Paint's executable install location on your computer. Probably in one of two spots. Either the programs x86 folder or the programs folder.

Now when you view a webp image it should open in XP Paint.

Hello...............
I did fail to mention I have Firefox 84. :eek:

I did go through your step process & xp paint is now associated with .webp
Does exactly the same thing as before.
Brings up documents folder library window & has the file name at the bottom.. File name: 1982_ohohpdd6ypjup_oiup_1612987365fb51d8DSC_0098.webp
Save as type. WebP (*.webp)


I tried this on Vivaldi browser & the save as was jpg not webp.
Rebooted the browser & computer. No change, typical Firefox, some things just never change.

Then it's just a save mechanism and won't open. Even though you can open in Firefox and not some other file handle, that's just BS. Did you try the Always ask option?
