You can move your desktop (Desktop folder in Windows) to another location.
Follow these simple steps for that:
1. Go to Registry Editor.
2. Navigate to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
\Explorer\User Shell Folders
3. There change value of
Desktop
from
%USERPROFILE%\Desktop
to

or whatever you like.
