      It sounds far more likely to me that she right-clicked on some image file and picked “Set as desktop background”.

        Happened to me previously several times. I find it crazy to even have this option in the context menu.

          As I wrote that comment I wondered: “does Windows still have that option in the context menu?” I’m rarely on Windows so can’t quickly check.

          My memory says that it’s even an option when right-clicking an image on the web. I decided to ignore that memory - surely that can’t still be a thing! …Right?

          Edit: oh crap, it’s actually an option on Firefox on Linux Mint. Damn, that’s crazy. Then it’s gotta be there on Windows too. Much easier to imagine it happening accidentally on the web than an image file on PC.

            Just checked, it’s there on Firefox on Windows, too. Also, Windows itself has a “Send To…” item on the right click menu for images, and one of the options in the submenu below that is “Mail Recipient”. (Chrome has the possibly-even-more-useless “Generate QR code for this image” but I don’t see an “e-mail this image” option in Chrome on Windows.)

        Which almost makes it worst. I mean I get the last part. Why ever she right clicked, she took the wrong option, fine. But how did she even end up on an image like that at work? What did she research?
