I've changed my default "Desktop" folder in windows xp.
It was "c:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Desktop" and i've changed it to
e:\desktop.
I download my files to my desktop. Files correctly saved to e:\desktop but when
i press Download Location button (which contains "Desktop") it shows me
"c:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Desktop" which contains no files.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Change your default "Desktop" folder.
2.Save a files by right clicking and "Save as" and choose Desktop (new one)
3.When downloading at the bottom of Download Manager press "Location for saved
files" (i'm using Turkish one i'm not sure if it is exactly written like this)
it browses to your old windows default desktop folder

Registry hack on HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User
Shell Folders.

Either reselect the desktop in preferences or use a new profile after doing such a registry hack.
