Play as a slide show or from a shortcut? If as a slideshow, try this...

Hello, my problem relates to Microsoft Powerpoint. I have a slide with a
picture I want to put on as my desktop wallpaper, but the problem is, I
also
have a sound in the slide that plays when its clicked. What I want to
know
is; how can I put the whole slide, with sound icon on my desktop, so when
i'm
just on my desktop I have the picture with that sound icon that plays when
its clicked from the desktop, just like in the presentation. I've had it
like
that before but can't remember how its done. If you can help me at all I
would be very grateful. Thankyou for yor time - Anthony Mann.

p.s. I've tried saving it as a jpeg file but when I use the file as my
desktop wallpaper I lose the sound I created, all thats there is the sound
icon as part of the picture but it won't play the sound when its clicked.

p.p.s. I also need the sound just to play in the background when I click
it
and not Windows Media Player or any other type of player popping up, just
like i'm sure you know how it would in a presentation. (The sound is a
song
saved as a wav file and the icon for it is the normal yellow speker icon
but
minimized to look like a dot.).

Well I'm pretty sure i've explained my problem enough - its just that i've
been trying to do this for ages now and can't find a solution anywhere.

Thanks again for your time and help - Anthony Mann.
