Hi I have a laptop windows xp sp3 that will not allow me to view the desktop folder. This machine was infected but now the infection is removed. I have looked up a way to change the directory of desktop to something else.<br />
The folder is there in the user profile c:\Document and Settings\user with spaces in the name of the folder\Desktop.<br />

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.
