It sounds like the icons are both in the "All User" Desktop folder and in the user's Desktop folder.

When both are there, what are the 2 paths? Right-click, Properties, and General.

What apps or files are these icons linked to? Can you delete both and recreate them fresh?
Another idea is to delete the file: C:\Winnt\ShellIconCache.
This will force Windows to recreate them fresh itself. Sometimes this file gets corrupted.
