Open the desk folder and see if that's it; if so, put it in the Users folder with its original name. If not, choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu, provide /Users/ as the path, and check the folders there. If it's not there, search your computer for a file which is located in the good folder, select it, choose Get Info from the Apple menu, and check its path.
