With OZ (and the older 2.x ROMs), a .desktop file is created whenever you sync and generally put a file on a SD/CF card or in /home/root/Documents. This is done so that it shows up in the Documents tab.

The latest Sharp ROMs have done away with the Documents tab and replaced it with more of a file browser.
