Right-click My Documents|Properties|Target|Move

But be aware with any file move that if something happens during the move
then files may be lost. So backup before hand.

What you see on your desktop will be the sum of what ever is in;
\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop
\Documents and Settings\ [username]\Desktop
