Good one. XP has the feature that removes the "real" icons from the desktop that the earlier Windows lack.

1. Scramble victims desktop icons - put them all over the screen.
2. Hit the "Print Screen" button which will copy the dektop image to the clipboard.
3. Go to MS Paint and paste to blank screen, then save to known location.
4. Set image that you just saved as background and repeat until you are satisfied that there is a ridiculous amount of icons in the image.
5. Hide Desktop icons.

When you are finished, it should appear that there are a bunch of icons on the screen and none of them do anything.
