Windows does it the same way: The desktop shows the files in c:\documents and settings\all users\desktop and the files in c:\documents and settings\...\desktop . It's also easily scriptable, just put files in the right directory. The only bad thing is that it is so easy for installers to dump their icons on the desktop, so on windows you have tons of 'ads' on most peoples desktops. I don't expect that to be a problem in the unix world though. Oh, and it appears you have php automatic escape and are manually escaping at the same time, at least in the preview window, and are vulnerable to script injection attacks.
