Missing "set as desktop background" from picture context menu

When I try to set a picture that is in my picture file as desktop background I right click and highlight and click Set As Desktop Background. This used to work but now the “Set As Desktop Background” is missing from context menu. I have Windows 7 Home Premium. Can you help?

Thank you so much Brink...I've got set as desktop background back. You posted just in time as I was getting ready to try ThrashZone's suggestion, but yours was so quick and easy and, best of all, it worked. I can't thank you enough as I've been working on this issue for a couple of days.

Yep Brink is a super alien

If the issue returns "which things like this always have a cause" post the additional info so we might see what is going on with your system
Cheers.
