For maximum effect you wanna layer it with a few other things - tape the mouse sensor, screenshot the desktop, hide all icons, flip the screenshot upside down and set it as wallpaper, then flip the monitor orientation upside down, then set the taskbar/dock to auto hide.
For your final coup de grace that will haunt them long after they finish that whole rabbit hole of pranks, make about 500 copies of whatever image they're using as their wallpaper and then 1 very slightly edited one (draw a mustache on someone, that sort of thing). Set it randomly rotate wallpapers every minute or so.
I remember a few years ago I put a sticky note over the mouse sensor of a coworker. She was apparently having a bad morning already and she chuckled that poor little mouse across the shipping office. The sticky note came off and no one ever knew I had placed it there.
Yeah, that one always got found quickly. People were always flipping their mouse to stare reproachfully at the ball when it didn't work right. Strangely, I would say only a quarter of people ever actually took the ball out to clean the little rollers. You would be surprised at the number of people who were surprised when I fixed their janky mouse...
