I had a feeling that's what it was going to be. 
I made a html file and embeded the flash file into it and then made the html file my desktop, so my background is the dog actively licking the screen all day. You should see the reactions I get. hahaha Here's a screenshot:

You should put some icons where he licks the most.

There's been a lot of interest on how I made the flash file of the dog my desktop so I figured I would just put the instructions here:
DISCLAIMER: All I know is PC's, so if there's any Mac guys you'll need to find help from a Mac person.
First you need to save the "screenclean.swf' file to your hard drive. It can be saved where ever you like, but you need to remember where you put it. You can pull it from the link in this thread or I hosted it on my website to help make the setup easier, since I have the html file you need there as well. You can get them both [link=http://www.bobwatts.com/Desktop]here[/link]. The "ScreenCleaner.html" file will need to be saved in the same folder the "screenclean.swf" is saved in. The "ScreenCleaner.html" file is a VERY basic webpage I typed up just for this purpose. If you're interested it's code is just:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Screen Cleaner</TITLE>
</Head>
<BODY>
<object width="1550" height="1100">
<param name="movie" value="screenclean.swf">
<embed src="screenclean.swf" width="1550" height="1100">
</embed>
</object>
</BODY>
</HTML>
The file is setup for a resolution of 1600 X 1200. If you have a lower resolution you may want to play with the numbers in the file to get rid of the scroll bars. I think it looks better without them, but they don't hurt anything. To edit the ScreenCleaner.html file just right click on it and select "Open with..." and select Wordpad or Notepad. Then just change the numbers to be a little lower than your resolution setting. Also if you rename the "screenclean.swf" to something else you will need to update the name in the HTML file as well for it to work right. When you're done click on "file" and then on "save."
O.K., at this point you should have two files saved to your hard drive called "ScreenCleaner.html" and "screenclean.swf" in a folder and the "ScreenCleaner.html" file should be modified to fit your desktop resolution.
Now you need to right click on your desktop and select properties in the pop up menu:
Click on the "Desktop" tab at the top of the window and then on the "Customize Desktop..." button at the bottom.
Click on the "Web" tab at the top and then on the "New" button on the right side.
A new window will pop up and you will need to click on the "Browse..." button in the bottom right.
Navigate to the folder where you saved the files from the server and select the "ScreenCleaner.html" file and hit "Open" and then "O.K."
Now you should see something like this in the window showing it's been created and it should have a green check mark in the box in front of it to show it will be displayed. Make sure the "Lock desktop items" box is unchecked or you will not be able to do the following steps.
Hit the "O.K." button and a small window should appear on your desktop that looks something like this:
It may take awhile to load and when it does it may be just a white screen if it's only showing a corner of the window. Hover the mouse at the top of the small window and a menu bar will show up. Click on the down arrow on the left side and select "Cover Desktop"
You should now have the flash file as your full desktop like this:
I'm sure there will be questions, so I'll try to keep up with the posts on this thread. 8)
