When I installed x5 on my computer, I was told to put all of its files on my desktop instead of my programs folder because the program wouldn’t open in the program folder. Why is that? It takes too much space on my desktop.

Did you mean to say My Documents for .cdr and .cpt files? Either way I suggest finding someone new to get your information from
I was told my customer service. Nothing I did worked until they told me to put it on desktop. That's all I know.
You will need to be more specific than nothing works. Program didn’t start? Files don’t open? Ect. Everything here works without the desktop folder, well everything but some program bugs that have nothing to do with the desktop folder. So without specifics, it will be the blind leading the blind

I understand LOL. I'm not a computer expert. My brother is though and he understands all this stuff.
It's been so long I really can't remember. All I can tell you is when I upload software it saves the files in either My Documents or Program files (I can't remember).
When i clicked on the program icon on my desktop it gave an error number and I gave said number to customer service and they told me to put all the files on the desktop.
I think the error was saying it couldn't read something that was required to run the program or for it to start or couldn't even find the folder itself.
Can you have a look in control panel > programs and features, find the CorelDraw entry and see what it says for Location.
It's not giving me the location
I'm guessing here, but from your description you're talking about putting the installation files on your desktop.
I'm also guessing your Windows profile is a user profile, and you need administrator privileges to install a program. So you've never actually installed the program, which is why you can't see it. That's a Windows function, it has nothing to do with Corel.
Ask your brother who understands this stuff to verify that.

Yes, that was my reason for asking to look in control panel for the location.

Do you see the CorelDraw entry in control panel > programs and features?
If you do, do you also have the Location column displayed? If not, you need to right click on one of the column headers and enable the location column.
