[How to] Command to change desktop folder?

First time here, I have an oddly specific question. I recently got into customizing my computer, and have been messing around with Autohotkey shortcuts. That got me wondering, is there some command I could use with a keyboard shortcut to change the folder displayed on the Windows desktop? I know you can create multiple desktops, but I am curious now, and it would function slightly differently
