Symptom
Files saved or placed on the desktop in Mac OS X do not appear there when you start up the computer with Mac OS 9.
Solution
Files you save or place on the desktop in Mac OS X are stored in your Mac OS X Desktop folder. You can access files in your Desktop folder by navigating to it in Mac OS 9. Each user you define in Mac OS X has a separate Desktop folder, and the contents are never shared between users. The path to a user's Desktop folder begins with the Mac OS X startup disk, as listed below and illustrated in Figure 1:
