OS X puts the desktop in
     \Macintosh HD\Users\<username>\desktop  (not desktop folder)

Try looking there thru finder....

All:

I've recently installed OSX, but boot in OS9 on production G4s.

My scripts use the "Desktop Folder" often, and they haven't broken, but the
folder itself seems to have been replaced by a generic icon that can't be
opened.


I get errors saying files already exist in the folder, but a Sherlock search
says they aren't there, and I can't open the folder (been replaced by icon)
so I can't access this any longer. Sherlock finds the "Desktop Folder", but
when I double click the Sherlock icon, the desktop itself (Finder) activates
and that's it.


Accessing by script works, but it seems to be the *only* access I have.

What's going on here? Any ideas?
