Not entirely sure what you mean. However, if you’re using Windows, which I assume you are, then what you’re calling the desktop is in fact the "application background". Go to Display Properties, and under the appearance tab, click the Advanced button. You can set the colour from the drop down list of windows features.

Change "image surroundings" by holding shift while clicking with the paintbucket in the surrounding

But wouldn’t that change the color of all my programs?

Yep, don’t think there’s another way to do it, though, and most programs don’t show much application background anyway, just those that began life on a Mac.

There is a way to change the Photoshop desktop background color and not change the Windows desktop.
Pick a foreground color
Select the Paint Bucket tool
Shift click in the gray area surrounding the image canvas ref: Studio Techniques, by Ben Willmore

Yeah, that will change the image surroundings. By desktop, I thought he meant the area behind the imnage window and palettes etc, hence my suggestion.
