How to effectively change the location of the desktop folder in the Windows XP S

C: \ Documents and Settings \ All Users \ Documents \ Desktop

On

C: \ Documents and Settings \ Krzysztof Żak \ Desktop

I have been trying to change the value in the register for a long time as in the attached picture and nothing comes of it. I was looking for answers on the web but I am also not able because I ran out of ideas and then you can find the answer.

With this value:



On this:

If you create Krzysztof Żak in the user's system, the desktop will have the location you want.

I changed my username from Krzysztof to Krzysztof Żak and I can't make a successful registry change.

I do it based on:

Quotation:
Change the default desktop location

The desktop can be moved to any folder (e.g. instead of on drive C it may be on drive D where there is e.g. more space)

We're changing the desktop path
1. Transfer content from the current desktop to the folder
with a new desktop, e.g. the new path is: D: \ Desktop.
2. Start -> Run -> regedit = we open the system registry editor.
3. If we want to change the folder for all users, we are interested in these paths:

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

HKEY_USERS \ .DEFAULT \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Explorer \ Shell Folders
HKEY_USERS \ .DEFAULT \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Explorer \ User Shell Folders

HKEY_USERS \ S-1-5-21-variable numbers \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Explorer \ Shell Folders
HKEY_USERS \ S-1-5-21-variable numbers \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Explorer \ User Shell Folders

In all of them we are interested in the value of Desktop. In Windows 2000 / XP / 2003 we have:

% USERPROFILE% \ Desktop (Windows ENG) or
% USERPROFILE% \ Desktop (Windows PL)

4. In the keys:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Explorer \ Shell Folders
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Explorer \ User Shell Folders
we are interested in the value of Common Desktop.

In Windows 2000 / XP / 2003 we have:
% ALLUSERSPROFILE% \ Desktop (Windows ENG) or
% ALLUSERSPROFILE% \ Desktop (Windows PL)
replace with a new path (e.g. D: \ Desktop - you must create such a folder beforehand)

After making changes, you must log out (sometimes it is better to restart your computer)

The method from item 4 in this Post helped.

I don't know if the methods from the previous post affected the final result.
