Your PC desktop is the place where you can save anything from files, folders, apps to shortcuts. The desktop displays all of that, covering your entire PC screen which you see as soon as you login to your Windows 11 & Windows 10 OS. You can then organize the desktop as per your requirement. While all the files, folders, and shortcuts on your PC are saved in a special location in your user profile, the latest Windows 10 version stores them in two different locations. The first one is stored under C:\Users\Public\Desktop, and the other one is stored in a unique location under your current user profile %userprofile%\Desktop. You can see a single view of the contents of both these folders on your Windows screen as Desktop.
