You cannot but consider yourself lucky you have a nice neutral background.
If you were on the Mac you'd have to work with your desktop and icons around
your work.

thank you guys! yes, i was talking about the application background.
sorry about the attachment for not going through. i don't know why
it didn't but oh well.

having a neutral background is both good and bad, i guess. i like it
on the mac because you get to see your desktop background (or icons),
and be able to switch, drag, and so on. however, i also like the pc
because i can't accidentally click on the desktop, and no longer be
working in photoshop. in addition, double clicking on the neutral
background brings up the "open" (or "open as" or "file browser" or
"new image", while holding alt or shift or control respectively)
dialog box. anyway, i'm clumsy so i always accidentally click on the
desktop on the mac. i just wish that you would be able to customize
the application background and put your own customized image, or have
a tranparency option so you would be able to see your desktop (for the
pc). well, that's my wishful thinking.

once again, thank you for the help!

You are totally right, it is in Control Panel> Display> Appearance> Item:
Application Background.
