The Desktop folder is that entity on each Mac hard drive that contains the items placed on your Mac desktop. If you click on the Desktop and type the name fast enough you should be able to select the file you created. If you open the hard drive, the desktop folder should be invisible, but if you put an alias of the drive in your Apple menu, it shows up in the list. If you unmount the volume (drag the drive to the trash) all items on the desktop of that volume vanish. Some applications, I think, see it as a folder and some do not. If your system resources are getting tired, sometimes the file doesn't actually appear on the desktop for a while; I find that rather disconcerting.
