Trouble Adding a Custom Folder to All Users Desktop

I created a desktop application in VB.NET and in the Setup and Deployment
project, under File System on Target Machine, I added a custom folder which
is to be added to the Desktop of All Users. To specify this, I entered

DefaultLocation = C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop
AlwaysCreate = True

For some reason, though, it is not getting created. During installation, we
select Everyone, and so the Desktop shortcut goes to the All Users desktop,
but it doesn't seem to allow a custom folder to go there.

Is there a way to add a custom folder to the All Users Desktop? Thanks.
