Although this isn't the clearest message possible, I do like that it
tells you what disk it's on, and doesn't just say "Desktop" or something.
Even though the file is on the desktop, it's still on some physical
disk, and if that disk is removed or unplugged (or explodes :-)), the
file will go away.
