I'm trying to write to the desk top and am having problems... Is there a way making no presumptions regarding the layout of the file system to find an absolute path to the user's desktop?

Yes, use Carbon's FSFindFolder() to return an FSRef pointing to the desktop, then get the path from that FSRef. The keys you probably want are "kUserDomain" and "kDesktopFolderType".
