The exception points to this line as being the issue:
> for gifname in os.listdir(dirpath):

and the error says `No such file or directory: '.\\Desktop\\''

So, there must be no directory named '.\\Desktop\\' in your current
working directory. To find out your current working directory use
`os.getcwd()'. Make sure that `os.getcwd()' returns the path to a
directory with a Desktop folder in it. This is usually something like
'C:\\Documents and Settings\\username'.
