I don't understand what you're doing. What makes one location on disk
more controlled than another?

Here's another thing I just realized: the desktop-wide credential is
associated with the name of the computer you used to create it. This is
just for informative purposes, but if you copy the credential to another
computer, that name will be inaccurate and it might get confusing. I
don't think this is a big deal.
