Ah, you're trying to get into My Documents. That's not actually in your desktop, even though windows shows it -- technically, "My Documents" and "Desktop" are in the same folder under your user settings. Like
Code:
c:\Documents and Settings\My Username\My Documents
c:\Documents and Settings\My Username\Desktop

Nearly everything on your desktop is either virtual or brought in from the "All Users" account, which is why it looks so bare when you see a real directory listing.
