At the risk of incurring wrath, who's help should I be seeking and what questions should I ask?
Relax, I think chemkid was just expressing frustration that so many people seem to have little knowledge about the computer they use every day. For things like changing Windows file displays you should be able to find (via Google or some other search engine) tutorial articles with pictures.

The path that I have for the scenario editor is C:/desktop/All Users/David/Default/Default Users/Public. How do I change that?

Ok, there's the problem. You appear to have moved the Scenario Editor .exe file to the desktop instead of creating a shortcut to it. Confirm this by left clicking once on it and it should show the file name (rather than an icon title without the .exe).
The Editor should be in the WITP-AE Scen file folder as shown in my path.

Firstly, start up Windows Explorer (the icon with a file folder in a metal desktop holder, likely located on the bottom of your screen). Keep it in a window about half the size of the screen so you can see both desktop and file system.
Second, starting at the C: drive, navigate to the Matrix Games folder and then the WITP-AE folder and then to the SCENARIO or SCEN folder. Expand the folder if you wish to see the scenario files are there.
Thirdly, position the window box so you can see both the Scenario Editor file on the desktop and the SCEN folder in the window box. Left click and HOLD on the Editor file on the desktop and drag it to the SCEN folder.
Fourth, after the file is in the folder, right click on it to bring up a list of choices and choose Create Shortcut. This will create a shortcut ICON with the correct path already in it.
Fifth, drag that ICON (not the .exe file) to your desktop and drop it there. You can now close the file explorer window, drag the Editor icon to where you want it on the desktop and launch the Editor with a double click.
