Step 3: Remove Crap
now that the background is saved, you need to remove the icons and taskbar so it apears that they are there but are not.
remove icons by right clicking the background and then go to arrange icons by... -- show destop icons click that and they show all be hiden.
then right click the task bar and select lock task bar. then drag it down so it disapers.

right click backround and go to propertys -- (up at the to) destop -- browse -- (find your PS picture) -- open -- (set position to strech) -- OK
now everything will no longer longer work when you click on them he will think his comp is frosen, but when he restarts it still wont work!
