If you take a screenshot of their desktop, with the icons on it, etc., and then set it as the wallpaper, it appears as though nothing as changed. However, when you then move the real icons off the desktop, the screenshot (now set as wallpaper) still shows that the icons are there.
So they click on the "icons", and it has no effect. Try clicking on a blank portion of your wallpaper - same effect. Nothing.

We actually wrote a visual basic program that improved on this classic. It used the desktop as a background, and would do something amusing after a random number of clicks failed to do anything. We even made it so the taskbar clock would appear to update properly.
The poor schlep we tested it on had a picture of his daughter on his backgorund, and after the limit was reached we had a pop-up text balloon come up from his daughter to colorfully insult his technical competency.
We only ever used it a couple of times, but each reaction was always better than the last.
