ERROR - desktop unavailable

I keep getting the this error message when my computer tries to access the
desktop.

"X:\Desktop refers to a location that is unavailable..."

What's wrong?

Thanks,

X:\Desktop is trying to start. X:\Desktop may not exist.

Open msconfig
Start | Run | Type: msconfig | Click OK |
Click on the Startup tab
See X:\Desktop listed ?

There should be Desktop folders here...
%homedrive%\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop
or
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop

%allusersprofile%\Desktop
or
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop

%homedrive%\Documents and Settings\Default User\Desktop
or
C:\Documents and Settings\Default User\Desktop

%homepath%\Desktop
or
C:\Documents and Settings\Your Name Here\Desktop

%windir%\system32\config\systemprofile\Desktop
or
C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\systemprofile\Desktop

Not X:\Desktop

Hope this helps. Let us know.
