  28.  
  29. The value isn't initialized.  It is queried each time \v(desktop) is
  30. evaluated.  The source of the value is:
  31.  
  32. HKCU\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Explorer\\Shell
  33. Folders
  34. "Desktop"
  35.  
  36. If the value is of type REG_EXPAND_SZ, then the result is expanded
  37. using ExpandEnvironmentStrings().
  38.  
  39. Finally, a '/ is appended to the end of the string and all '\'
  40. characters are converted to '/'.
  41.  
  42. Its not magic.  Its C code. Look at the sources and you can see
  43. exactly what it does.
