    No. The connection toa laptop bard for the monitor is totally different to the connection to the VGA port. And the VGA port on the laptop is an output, the same as the desktop. Connecting 2 out puts together gives you no usable signal and it is possible for exactly opposite output voltages along the same cable from each machine to destroy the board of one or both of them. Which would possibly destroy the desktop.
