I am creating a program that creates a number of text files based on the user's input. What I need help with, is how to save the .txt files to the desktop because if you do what I did, it says that it cant find it because there is no folder named "desktop" in the turing folder. So if anyone could help me out, I would appreciate it.

The Desktop folder is actually located under your home folder. For example, mine would be C:\Users\DemonWasp\Desktop on Windows Vista/7 or C:\Documents and Settings\DemonWasp\Desktop on Windows XP and earlier. |

You could always ask the user for the save/open path.  |
