To set a photo as your wallpaper, click on the numbers that match your screen-size to the right of the image that you want. A new window will open. Wait until the image fully downloads to your browser, then right-click anywhere on the image and click on "Set as wallpaper" (in Netscape or Internet Explorer) or select "Use image as... -> Desktop Background" (in Opera). You may have to right-click on your desktop and select "Refresh" if you use Netscape.

For older version browsers, click on the numbers that match your screen-size to the right of the image that you want. A new window will open. Wait until the image fully downloads to your browser, then right-click anywhere on the image and click on "Save image as..." (in Netscape) or "Save picture as..." (in Internet Explorer). Save the picture to an easy to find location (C:\Windows would be fine). Next, click on Start -> Settings -> Control Panel. Open the Display properties, then click on the Background tab. Click on the Browse... button, and then go to the directory where you saved the image and select the image. Click on Open, then click on OK.
