Try this code to get, in all cases, the actual desktop path :

for /f "tokens=3" %i in ('reg query "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders" /v "Desktop"') do @set desktop=%i
echo %desktop%

Actually, the desktop path can be changed. The value is stored under HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders\Desktop.

Do not forget to double % if you run this in a batch file.

If I understand your question correctly, try

%userprofile%\desktop
