A guess: the program searches the registry for the "Desktop" directory. On my system the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders contains a subkey "Desktop" pointing to the desktop (eg. C:\Windows\Desktop). Try adding that to your registry. If that does not help, run wine like: WINEDEBUG=+reg wine ... and try to find the registry entries that your program queries.
