Yes, this is what I'm looking for but can't find.

Thank you very much for your reply.  I've included the following
and if your have any more comments or hints, please post them.

Again thanks.

My OS is fedora core 3 with the kde desktop, as administrator.

The following is what I have*:
[root at localhost ~]# locate /.directory
/etc/skel/.kde/Autostart/.directory
/root/.kde/share/apps/konqsidebartng/virtual_folders/remote/ 
ftp/.directory
/root/.kde/share/apps/konqsidebartng/virtual_folders/remote/ 
web/.directory
/root/.kde/share/apps/konqsidebartng/virtual_folders/remote/.directory
/root/.kde/share/apps/konqsidebartng/virtual_folders/services/.directory
/root/.kde/Autostart/.directory
/root/Desktop/Trash/.directory
/root/Desktop/.directory
/home/mysql/.kde/Autostart/.directory
/usr/.directory
[root at localhost ~]#

I"ll try to reconstruct the "/home/???/Desktop/.directory".

folder links and applications from the "locate" command listing.
