My experience is with SQL, not MySQL, but I thought I would ask...
With SQL, it uses your Windows Users and Groups for permissions and security groups. Does MySQL do the same ?
If so, putting the working folder on your desktop may be what is causing your problem. Anything in your profile (under Documents and Settings) is assgined rights specifically to the logged on user. If you are trying to run MySQL as another user (named 'root') it will not have the file security to access anything on your dektop. Try moving the working folder to another place on your hard drive that ISN'T in Documents and Settings. I would suggest creating a new folder in the root of C: called SQL and using that for your working data folder.
