What do you get if you try CSIDL_DESKTOPDIRECTORY instead?

From MSDN:

CSIDL_DESKTOP (0x0000)
The virtual folder representing the Windows desktop, the root of the
namespace.

CSIDL_DESKTOPDIRECTORY (0x0010)
The file system directory used to physically store file objects on the
desktop (not to be confused with the desktop folder itself). A typical
path is C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Desktop.
