I tried this post before but have not yet gotten any good answers. When I
delete or move items (folders, files, shortcuts) from my desktop they
apparently are moved or deleted as desired. However, when I reboot my
machine all of these items come back to my desktop. If I moved the item it
still exists where I moved it to, but there is now a second copy on my
desktop. I can repeat this process and they keep coming back. How can I
stop this problem from happening!?

Thanks, Matt

PS

I did find a Knowledge Base Article, but I am not sure if it is the exact
problem and even if it is it does not provide a solution...see below:

Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - 283902

Windows 2000

Windows 2000 - Developer



Files and Folders Reappear After Deletion in a Cached Profile

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows 2000 Server

Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server

Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional



This article was previously published under Q283902

SYMPTOMS

Files and folders may reappear after being deleted in a cached profile.

CAUSE

The current synchronization algorithm checks each file and folder in a
roaming profile and tests whether the files and folders exist in the local
profile. If a file or folder does not exist, the file or folder is
propagated to the destination.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products
that are listed at the beginning of this article.

Are said items in the "AllUsers" desktop folder?

No they are no, they are files I either save from the web, temporarily from
Autocad, Word, whatever...anything I save to the desktop as a temporary
storage spce cannot be deleted because something is forcing copies to be
there upon reboot.
