[RESOLVED] Path to Desktop

[experience]

I want to move a file from the users desktop to the running applications folder.
This is what i have which works for me - but the desktop path will be different for each user so am looking for the system path

    Dim FileToMove As String
        Dim MoveLocation As String
       
        FileToMove = "c:\users\me\desktop\test.txt"
        MoveLocation = "c:\TestFolder\test2.txt"
       
        If System.IO.File.Exists(FileToMove) = True Then
            System.IO.File.Move(FileToMove, MoveLocation)
            MsgBox("file moved")
            Close()
        Else
            MessageBox.Show("file not found. Please check that the file is saved to your desktop and it is called test.txt")
        End If

Cant get that to work
tried

FileToMove = My.Computer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.Desktop \ "test.txt"
FileToMove = "My.Computer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.Desktop\test.txt"
FileToMove = "My.Computer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.Desktop.test.txt"

No, use this:

FileToMove = My.Computer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.Desktop & "\test.txt"

Use the ampersand '&' to concatenate two or more strings together.
