In python under windows, how can I create and access a file on the Desktop? The 
following do NOT work:
fp = open(r'Desktop\myFile','r')
fp = open(r'\Desktop\myFile','r')
fp = open(r'c:\Desktop\myFile','r')
fp = open(r'c:\Windows\Desktop\myFile','r')

I don't want to drill into c:\Documents and Setting\... because the user name 
is often obscure AND not all desktop files appear in the same subdir. of that. 
For example some are in 'All Users" or 'Default User'.
