You may want to open a command prompt and execute the SET command.
You will notice the following environment variables: USERPROFILE and
ALLUSERSPROFILE
The ALLUSERSPROFILE will point the root folder for the common desktop, so using
%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Desktop will work on any localization, since it works for me
on German and English localizations.
On the other hand you can create JS scripts to create shortcuts, see
http://wpkg.org/Category:Utility_Scripts for an example of such a script for
desktop shortcuts.
This will make using the PUBLIC environment variable for Vista and higher
obsolete.
