Move desktop location to another drive

No guarantees, but you could try this: Open a terminal and type

cd ~
mv Desktop /path/to/your/other/drive
ln -s /path/to/your/other/drive/Desktop ./Desktop

Click to expand...

Your last line should read:

Not sure where the ./ came from.

Has this worked for anyone. I'm trying to do the same thing and it is not cooperating! I've also tried typing in terminal:

ln -s /Volumes/Master/Desktop Desktop

I am trying to move my desktop folder to my data drive (called Master). I thought this was a way to basically tell the official desktop folder to go look into my created Desktop folder on my Data drive. Unfortunately it is not working. Any ideas???

I tried the link thing one time but unsuccessfully. I do not remember why though...
