How do I do a "listdir" (or whatever I need to use) of the Desktop on a

I'm specifically trying to get a link to VMWare Shared Folders to show
up so I can navigate to files in OSX from WinXP running in VMWare, but
My Documents doesn't show up, either.
The docs for listdir says it doesn't follow links and I don't think I
want to tell os.walk to followlinks as that could be zillions of files.
Depends exactly what '"folders" like My Documents' means (since I'm unfamiliar
with VMWare Shared Folders) but you almost certainly want to use the Shell
functions to walk the shell from the Desktop root. There was a short thread
recently about it which I'll try to dig up (digs...):

Well, My Documents is not a normal folder. It's not the same as
right-clicking and creating a new folder. I don't know what it is,
exactly. VMWare Shared Folders seems to be a normal sort of link to
'\\.host\Share Folders', but not quite, however, beyond that I'm not
sure what it is. If I create Shortcuts to My Documents and VSF those
show up with listdir, but I cannot follow them; Python does not think
they are directories, which they aren't (they show up from listdir as
'Shortcut to My Documents.lnk', for example).
I'll take a look at the link above. Thanks!
Bob
