Funky XP Desktop

[Ken Ray]

Scott,

I just checked my registry, and it's there:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop

I can't tell you if it was installed there originally (I've had XP for many
months now), or whether some other app created it when it went to install
stuff, but just wanted you to know.
