You are pointing the desktop folder to the server. If you don't want it
there you should probably point it elsewhere. Like "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop",
which may work with your exclusion list, or %HOMEDRIVE%\%HOMEPATH%\Desktop
? You can see all your environment variables by typing SET at the Windows
command line.
