[Deskcut] Wrongly identify Desktop on Windows

I'm using deskCut 0.5.0.1 on Windows XP. On the Directory tab in its
options, in File Path Options, when I select "Use Desktop" and click on
"Find", it identifies my desktop incorrectly. I have to select "Set
Directory" and browse to my desktop for it to be identified correctly.
Perhaps it is because my desktop is not in the "usual" place - I use
C:\User\Desktop.
It appears deskCut thinks the desktop must always be at
%USERPROFILE%\Desktop, which is not the case in Windows XP. In WinXP,
you can find out what your desktop is from the registry key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell
Folders. The value called Desktop has the absolute path to the desktop.
Can you please fix this?
Thanks
