title: How do I permanently set the current directory to the Desktop in Python?
body: <p>Every time I want to open a text file that's on Desktop, I always need to change the directory in Python with these commands:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&gt;&gt;&gt; import os
  &gt;&gt;&gt; os.chdir("C:/Users/Name/Desktop")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It's really annoying when I have to change it every time.<br>
  It's currently in <code>C:\\Python34</code>.<br>
  So how do I permanently set the working directory to Desktop?
  Thanks in advance!</p>
