A simpler way of doing this is to use the screen dump short cut key. On Windows (Sorry Mac users) you press Alt+ Prt Scrn/SysRq (The key to the left of the scroll lock). This will Save the image to the Clipboard. Open Publisher and then the Clipboard. Paste the image onto a blank document. Then, Right Click--> Save Target As...(save somewhere kinda hidden) then open the Control Panel go to Appearance and Themes--> Change the Desktop Background. Once this Toolbar is open click the Browse button. Find where you saved your screenshot, open it, then click Apply. Close all of the programs opened and your done! For further annoyance I recommend whizzkidtom's suggestion.

slightly better one: if your computer can handle it, make a GIF of the game playing (like the ghosts moving around, or an easier game like Jezzball) makes it all the more realistic.

A simpler and funnier way to do this step is to: Right Click Go to "Arrange Icons By" and uncheck the second item from the bottom called "Show Desktop Items"
