You can move your desktop (Desktop folder in Windows) to another location.
Follow these simple steps for that:
1. Go to Registry Editor.
2. Navigate to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
\Explorer\User Shell Folders
3. There change value of
Desktop
from
%USERPROFILE%\Desktop
to
D:\Desktop
or whatever you like.
Recommendation:
Moving desktop folder to a partition other than system partition helps keep your precious data inert to vulnerabilities of system partition like Windows failure, system breakdown.
Enjoy!
* For those who do not know how to Go to Registry Editor*:
1. Press Start button.
2. Click on Run.
3. Type regedit in Run dialog box.
4. Hit OK.
* Keyboard shortcut for Run is "WindowsLogoKey + R".
