    Change Your Desktop Folder?


    Your desktop shows the folder, C:\Users\%username%\Desktop, but is it possible to make it show a different folder?
    I believe this would involve changing the Registry, correct?

    Thank you! It works! Now, on you something better, could you open something in the Desktop. For example, If I have a folder on the Desktop named Stuff, clicking on it would bring the Desktop to Stuff. (But then how would you get back...maybe in the right click menu.)
    Thanks!
