Bug with desktop folder redirection

Post by Steve Adams »

I have a roaming profile and my desktop folder is redirected (with folder redirection) onto a network share.

When Duplicate Cleaner starts up, it pops up the following error message:
Error setting up folder tree: Could not find special directory 'Desktop'.

Upon investigation, it seems that it has obtained ProfileImagePath from the registry for the active profile, and then just appended "\Desktop"!

Could you please change it to consult HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders!Desktop instead.

Thanks,
Steve

Looks like My.Computer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.Desktop is throwing an error in .NET - I'll try and get it to look elsewhere when it bomb out in unusual cases.

Does this work instead?
C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\My Documents\My Pictures ?
