Open the picture in your internet explorer and right-click on it, and choose "set as background".

nige,

I *think* your PC wil use windows picture viewer to view the picture when you click on it, you will not be able to set it as a background from this programe.

take the picture and save it on you PC as per normal.

right click on a blank part of your desktop, and select properties.

choose the " background" tab, and then click the browse button.

now find the picture of your car and select it, click "open" and you should now have that piccie as your background.

cheers,

mike.

best save any pics for desktops as .bmp as this is the best format for backgrounds.
