Thanks,
So is desktop folder still a property of the folderitem class on Windows as
the language reference suggests?

The Desktop Folder is a Macintosh invention. On Windows (especially W2K and
higher) there is no concept of a volume desktop folder, hense the Nil
object. Instead, there is only a user space desktop folder.
In fact, it is rare even on the Macintosh to need to explicitly access the
DesktopFolder of a Volume. Most of the time you would want to access the
User Desktop folder which will be the ~/Desktop for OS X.
For OS 9, the DesktopFolder object automatically defaults to the
Volume(0).DesktopFolder (unless Multiple Users is enabled).
As Will mentioned, just use the DesktopFolder object.
