Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Desktop)

this will resolve to the desktop folder for the current user. Are you really creating folders on the desktop? Usually data and subfolders are stored in AppData.

EDIT

I SUSPECT you might have need of this folder in other places and even if not it can be saved and 'fixed' before hand. Elsewhere, like when the app starts:

Friend mUserFolder As String
mUserFolder = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Desktop)
' your code was not adding the required backslash
mUserFolder &= "\Data\"           ' append the sub folder name

Now to load the file in button click the code is simpler to read and debug:

 PictureBox1.Image = Image.FromFile(muserFolder & ID.Text & ".png")

Also use & for concatenating strings instead of +
