Do you want to get path to desktop (as linked in comment above) OR you want to get particular folder and "desktop" is just sample? — Alexei Levenkov, Jun 16 '15 at 02:33

You can't programmatically read that location. You can however ask the user to pick the folder using FolderPicker class. You can set the SuggestedStartLocation property to the PickerLocationId.Desktop before calling the PickSingleFolderAsync method. The user can of course change the location or cancel the operation.
