Desktop Refers to a Location That is Unavailable

azhar    IT     Desktop Error, Desktop Unavailable

If you get this error then you probably had Desktop pointing to x: drive and moved the files to somewhere else (by right-clicking Desktop, selecting Properties and clicking Move).
One of the registry settings wasn’t updated by the move.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders\Desktop

This probably still has a value of x:\desktop. Change it to %USERPROFILE%\Desktop
Note: x refers to a previous location.
