Is there a way I can create a button that mimics the "set as background" you get when you right click an image?

Regards
 
I don't know if it's possible because this feature is only possible under Windows OS running IE browser. this capability is due to the large integration of the browser into the system itself. What really happens when you click on this popup menu item is :
- Save the image locally
- Call OS primitives to set the saved image as background.

As you see, if the first part is OS independant, the second one strongly depends on the client OS. Water is not bad as long as it stays out human body ;-)
