You didn't say so I'll assume the desktop. Run regedt32.exe and have a look
at the Reg_Expand_Sz string values of
"Desktop"
found in
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
(should be) %USERPROFILE%\Desktop
and
"Common Desktop"
found in
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
(should be) %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Desktop
Sound like they're pointing to the same place.
