You sould use the following method to determine the user's desktop folder:

Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Desktop);

and maybe the best way for having a correct path is also using System.IO.Path.Combine() method:

PictureBox.ImageLocation = System.IO.Path.Combine(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Desktop), "Project", "Image.jpg"));
