Desktop Location Changed

My Desktop folder somehow got changed to a path in my Documents directory.
When I delete it, everything on my desktop is deleted (except the Recycle
Bin). I also get a warning everytime I open up an explorer window now saying
it can't find the location where the desktop folder I deleted was. Is there
a simply way to return the location of the Desktop directory to it's default?

Hi KG,

You can reset the Desktop shell folder path in the registry directly.

See "Method 2" in this article:
