Depends. Do you want to do it using Cocoa? Carbon? BSD calls? All of these
can get you what you want.
For the desktop file/folder content (excluding drives), just use
NSFileManager's -directoryContentsAtPath: method on
NSHomeDirectory()/Desktop. (BSD calls would just be opendir, readdir,
closedir.)
Mounted volumes you can get two ways. The statfs(2) call gives you the
most information, listing all mounted drives and their respective paths.
You could also use the same technique described above to get the Desktop
contents on /Volumes. This second way isn't as good, as it doesn't get the
/ volume name, which is very bad, especially if there's only one
partition, and / is the only mounted drive.
