Desktop Double Icons

[Marks]

Hi all,

Recently don't know why my desktop display double icons(Twin). I have tried
delete all of them and create new shortcut icons, If I right click refresh,
all icons become double again, can anyone share a fix on this issue? Thanks
in advance.

Try this: Start>Run and type in without the quotes "regedit". Browse to the key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsCurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders]
click on it and change at right "CommonDesktop" to
"C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop"
