Thank you for publishing useful utilities.
I found a bug in Zoomit. The file name specified by "use image file as background" in the break option is cleared the next time zoomit is started and the background is not loaded properly.
Best,

    Check Registry

    Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Sysinternals\ZoomIt

    Value: BreakBackgroundFile.

    Also (copied from)
    Computer\HKEY_USERS<your userid>\Software\Sysinternals\ZoomIt

    Value: BreakBackgroundFile.

    Set the file of your choice, full path.
    Do not use double quotes.

    You might consider to change permissions avoiding the system resetting the value when you exit Zoomit (remove full control to value, only allow read, and only allow FC to admins)
