if you have Irfan view, it can do it in 2 steps.
open your picture in the program and then:
click image > click resize resample... > then select the size of your screen.
so 1024 x768 etc.. this will shrink the picture to the most likely size.

then click option > click Set as wallpaper... > centered.

that should work.

edit: the good thing about doing this is you don't have to deal with saving your picture once you resize it, I view makes a separate jpg in the windows directory so when you want to change background, it will override itself.

and if you want to get it EXACTLY, theres a best fit to desktop button too. (i just noticed it. ) this is in the resize resample ... window.
