If you're trying to set a picture that's online to your desktop (called wallpaper) you can just right click on it and click "Set as wallpaper" or "Set as desktop background" or something similar.

Conversely, you can right click anywhere on your desktop and go to Properties (in windows XP) or Personalization (windows 7 and Vista) and change it from that dialog box.
