For some time ago we
changed every user's desktop folder from C:\Users\<name>\Desktop to X:\Desktop (where
X: is the user's home folder on our fileserver) by a GPO rule.
This led to some complications for a few users like the local registry not updating somehow, don't really know why it didn't work, but anyway, here's a fix.
Open regedit and navigate to the following two locations:

Open regedit and navigate to the following two locations:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell
Folders
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
Change the
"Desktop" value to correct folder. Remember to do it in both
locations, "Shell Folders" and "User Shell Folders".
What is supposed to be the correct location?
