    Can I change the folder for Desktop?


    I set up special folders for documents, pictures, etc., all named "My folder name" and set them as my default folders under Home. I also set a "My Desktop" folder and have been saving things to that folder.I noticed today that the saved items are not on the desktop that shows when I click the desktop icon in the taskbar, but they are in the My Desktop folder under Home. Is it possible to change the default Desktop folder to the My Desktop folder?I've included pictures blacked out personal folders.#1 is the desktop I see when I click the desktop icon on the taskbar#2 is the My Desktop Folde

    :)
