Where did the UNZIPPED file go?

Hello,

Here's the scenario:

1) My customers download a zip file from my site (call it zip.exe) to their desktop.

2) They then unzip the file to a folder (call it xyz) which I have set by default to be saved to their desktop, as follows...

c:\windows\desktop\xyz

3) For all versions of Windows (98, 2000, etc.) EXCEPT XP, the customer finds the xyz folder (which contains 3 unzipped files) on their desktop - no problem.

BUT, XP users do NOT find folder xyz on their desktop. Where is it? (I have not yet upgraded from my Windows 98 to XP so I can't determine this for myself).

I would assume that customers can find the file by following this path...

Start - My Computer - C Drive - Windows - Desktop - xyz

Is this correct?

I'd really appreciate a reply. Thank you!

The correct path would be "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop" for Windows XP
 
Thanks pappcam. So is the key that "All Users" must be in the path as opposed to "Username"?

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
