Hey Question,

Is it possible to add an ''Previous desktop background'' option to the context menu ( see image ) Right now only ''next desktop background'' is available when right clicking on the desktop...

Because this issue has been already unsuccessfully brought up at this forum, I decided to look into the question.

I have looked inside %SystemRoot%\system32\stobject.dll
This is a file, which executes and manages Desktop Slideshow.

And there are the following classes regarding Slideshow:
Slideshow_IsRunning, Slideshow_Refresh, Slideshow_Tick_Timer

When you click "Next desktop background" windows uses class "Slideshow_Refresh" and changes the wallpaper.
And I see no class or function, which could potentially show previous background.

Possible solution would be to use other, non-microsoft software for this purposes, it if is available.
