Any Mac geeks out there that feel like hitting me with some pearls of wisdom? My spiff-o-licious new MacBook Pro has developed a really annoying quirk involving the Desktop folder. I migrated all my stuff over from my old Mac, and apparently that included the old Desktop folder. Now the new computer seems to've gotten confused about which desktop it's supposed to be saving things to. It keeps putting downloads in the old folder, which means they don't actually appear on the my desktop-- AND I can't get at them, since it tells me I don't have the permissions to get into the old folder (I can, weirdly, find them using Spotlight and use them that way).

I called Apple tech support where a very unhelpful guy in Hyderabad told me to re-install the operating system-- which I did, with exactly NO effect. Dick. Squat.

Sooo.... anyone out there have any idea how I can tell my dopey computer which desktop to use? Any advice will be greatly appreciated, and rewarded with brownies (or beer, depending on your preference). Thanks in advance!
