I fixed it by simply delete the extra one. =)

The reason I didn't figure that one out is because when I previously deleted
the extra one, and the right pane of windows explorer; it shows up "the one I
wanted to keep" is deleted. I had to re-open Windows Explorer to see that
and F5(Refresh) key didn't work.
 
The real Desktop folder (that's in use) can by determined by running this command in Start, search box:

shell:Desktop

Press {ENTER}

Note down which folder opens.
