"Desktop file" = ordinary file?

1. Write data:

(defun write-string-to-file (str file)
  "Write STR to FILE.
FILE is created if it doesn't exist, otherwise it is overwritten."
  (interactive "sstring: \nFfile: ")
  (with-temp-file file (insert str "\n") ))

2. Restore data:

(defun file-to-string (file)
  "Put the contents of FILE into a string and return it."
  (interactive "Ffile: ")
  (with-temp-buffer
    (insert-file-contents file)
    (buffer-string) ))
