Where is 'All Users, Desktop' in Win7?

For example, software download drops a desktop icon for all users, where is that directory? Thank you in advance.

Then it is located at:

C:\Users\Public\Default\Desktop
Does this help?

Had to go to Control Panel, Folder Options to display hidden folders.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
