Hi Ro,
This problem (bug?) occurs if the Desktop toolbar (deskband) is enabled in
the Taskbar. Turning if off will workaround the problem.

I can't find any article related to having multiple desktop icons showing in
the left pane of windows explorer. I don't know when it actually happens,
but it messes up the explorer please help. I have a picture saved of what
it
looks like, don't know to to post it here though.
