A thing to keep in mind is that the program (again, assuming we are thinking of the same thing) was not really a game, and wasn't distributed as one either. It's closest in nature to something like "Stress Reducers", only from looking at the program, it would be quite evident it didn't belong on Mobygames. In a certain sense, it was closer to gimmick-style paint applications like early Kid Pix or Mario Paint.

A few things that might be relevant:
-I'm fairly sure the bombs weren't actually animated as dropping down or anything, but instead you would select a button that would turn the mouse cursor into a bomb icon, and then an explosion would be created wherever you clicked it.
-I think the program debuted during the Windows 3.0 period, and in fact, I'm not sure I ever used it on a higher version of Windows (so I have no idea whether you could do so).
-I have the feeling that the program's name didn't really imply violence or the like. There may have been some insinuation of prank possibilities in any advertising/documentation.
-While searching for the software, I came across what turned out be an ultimately unrelated bit of text:

"Broken Aero".The Vista answer to "tore up XP".Complete with broken,cracked glass, missing pieces,dirt,smudges,fingerprints,bug guts, burnt out lights,etc.The more messed up the better.Free idea,y'all can have it,I sure as hell can't use it.

Now, I'm not saying all those things were featured "tools" (some definitely weren't), but if you imagine the effect of defacing a Windows desktop with such things, I believe that is much closer to what the program allowed than something like Stress Reducers.

Another apt comparison is early screen-savers that pretended to interact with the desktop, like After Dark's Can o' Worms (the noise of that thing came unexpectedly back to me while poking around Google). Come to think of it, I wouldn't be entirely surprised if the software actually had some kind of screen-saver component.

-----------------------------------------

I have to take a break from this for a while, but I have the feeling that this program may be lurking somewhere in the depths of textfiles.com. Icejumper, if any more details come to mind, try using Google and:

site:cd.textfiles.com <whatever>

There's countless old free/shareware/whatever Windows apps in there, some of which probably aren't easily found elsewhere on the internet.
