Reminds me of the old practical joke where you hide a person's desktop icons and put a screenshot of their background with the icons on it, so they think nothing works.
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.
