click start and go to search and type 'desktop'. one of the things it should come up with is the folder for the desktop. just open it and look at the path name.

Well for the Desktop path i know you can find it in the registry at :

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

but you'll need some app to grab it from a batch file…

For the Program folder just use %programfiles% environment variable.
