Tom proposed the following answer:
Hi.  Please let us know what went where if you can.

I think you can just open a normal nautilus file-browser, i don't think
you need to sudo it - even get it from the "Places" menu.  Just open the
folder that contains "Desktop".  Go up to the "View" menu in nautilus
and get it to show a "side pane".  At the top of the side-pane is a grey
title "Places" with an arrow beside it pointing down.  Click on the down
arrow and from the drop-down list click on "Tree".  Now drag the
"Desktop" folder from the folder it's in and drop it the side-pane on
"Home Folder".

Remember slow is smooth, so be cool and slow - don't hastily jab at things for doing this.
Good luck and regards from
Tom :)
