Since CF runs on the server, it CAN'T access a viewer's desktop - unless
that viewer is on the server, in which case, why would you want to get CF to
put something on the desktop? It's a lot quicker to use Windows...
As long as the directory exists, and the account that CF is using has access
to that directory, then CFFile (if turned on) should be able to write the
file
If you're running CF on a Windows 9x machine, then there's no reason why you
shouldn't be able to do this - but beware of over-writing the system files!
