Menu
I use
NSArray* paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDesktopDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES );
NSString* theDesktopPath = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
It works well. But when I launch the application with sudo it gives the root's desktop path. Is there any way to return current user's desktop always (even if the app is started with sudo)?

On your Mac, click the Finder icon in the Dock to open a Finder window. Choose View > Show Path Bar, or press the Option key to show the path bar momentarily. The location and nested folders that contain your file or folder are displayed near the bottom of the Finder window.
Often when opening the command prompt window, you automatically be placed in the (username) directory. Therefore, you only need to type cd desktop to get into the desktop. If you're in any other directory, you would need to type cd \docu~1\(username)\desktop to get into the desktop.
PATH is a system-level variable that holds a list of directories. When you enter a command in the terminal, it's shorthand for a program with the same name. The system looks in each of the PATH directories for the program corresponding to the command. When it finds a matching program, it runs it.
I use the statement below.
[NSURL fileURLWithPath:[NSHomeDirectory()stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"Desktop"]]
