Default Automatically Save a file on the Desktop

Hi
I have a set of Excel files sitting on a shared network drive which can only
be accessed through a file managing system developed with MS Access.

The users need the ability to save a copy of the file on their desktop. I
did it by using following code and it works fine.
Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
ThisWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=WshShell.SpecialFolders("Desktop") & "\" &
ThisWorkbook.Name, password:=""

But our Information System department decided to execute the MS Access file
manager through a Citrix server. Everything else works fine, but
automatically saving of the copy on the user's desktop. I know this is
something to do with the file path through the Citrix server, however, I
don't know a method to get set the path automatically to the users desktop
and save a copy there.

Can anyone help me with this?
Thank you in advance
Toyfixer
