How to say "to set something as"

Question

I set it as my desktop picture (a photo on the computer)

Lo puse en mi escritorio.??

How would you say "to set as"??

Thanks guys.

Answer 1

I know in instances with jobs you can say,

Trabajo como (job) -- I work as a (job)

This would make it seem like you could use the same method for this such as:

lo puse como fondo de mi compu. (I put it as my background on my computer.)

Answer 2

First of all I think you may want to use the direct object pronoun "la" because you are referring to either "la imagen" o "la foto". I think you can say it a few different ways: "la puse como fondo de escritorio/pantalla" o "la puse como papel tapiz"
