    You want the system root for the desktop? I know %systemroot% is C:\Windows. I don't recall anything that would lead to the desktop...
    You could try C:\Docume~1\%username%\Desktop\
    That would get you to the desktop.

    For example, if you have a batch file on the desktop that's called 'random.bat' then you could type in command prompt:

    start C:\Docume~1\%username%\Desktop\random.bat
