Default Generic file path using vba

I have a vba code that opens a file placed on my desktop, but this vba code
must be used in several pc's, and in every pc the desktop path is different
due to different user names.

I would like to now if it's possible to write a "generic" path for the vba
to find the files with no matter which of the pc desktops the macro is being
ran at. The files will be placed always in the desktop folder.

here is the string I am using to open the file.
Workbooks.Open "C:\Documents and Settings\[Username]\Desktop\Data_Export.xls"

Any advice would be appreciated
