> Prior to about 7-14 day ago, ‘page source’ was a menu item when right clicking on the image and quickly (just a few seconds) locate/copy the HTML for the image. MS changed something.

Okay, that's interesting. I don't think I've ever seen or used the option as you describe it. I -have- used "Copy Image Location" which gets the URL of the image, but not the HTML code of the <IMG SRC=...> reference.

Well, you've piqued my interest. :-) I run Win10 in a VM, and I keep old backup copies of the VM in case of damage, malware, or a screwed Windows Update. The backups pre-date the change you mention (more than 2 weeks old) by a good bit.

I'll see if I can confirm/deny the presence of such a context menu option in the old versions.

Heh. I assure you that the context menu item ‘view source’ was included when right clicking an image, and ‘recently’.

That’s how I’ve been getting the HTML off of images to post for 10-15 years. Now whether it was 2 or 4 or 6 weeks, I can’t be sure:

Time flies when you’re having fun. /s April 15th certainly crept up on my ass.

I do appreciate the curiosity; I’m also a dog with a bone, so-to-speak, when it comes to such matters.

I didn’t do the deep dive, but I found little to nothing on the menu change when I looked into it prior (there was nothing under developer tools which proved useful, either). I’ve gotten by using ‘inspect’, and I’ll probably have to accept it, because I’ve more pressing matters for my time.

But if you find a registry change - if it exists - before I do, I’d appreciate hearing about it.
