All of my current desktop items (with the exception of IE and My Computer) are doubling 
up - there are inexplicably TWO of each.  I went into /Documents and Settings/[profile 
name]/Desktop, and there is nothing there.  All of my current desktop items are under 
/Documents and Settings/All Users/Desktop currently.  Any new shortcuts I attempt 
to make on the desktop automatically replicate.  Shortcuts I create elsewhere are 
fine.

So let's say I have icon A of Firefox and icon B of Firefox - they look identical 
and they seem to reside in, and be pointing to, the same place (respectively.)  If 
I delete icon A, icon B is automatically deleted.  If I delete icon B, icon A stays 
on the desktop, but loses all its attributes.  

Interestingly, if I select all the icons and their copies and cut-and-paste them 
into a folder NOT on the desktop, only ONE icon appears in the folder.

SO what the heck is going on here?  Any help would be appreciated - this is driving 
me insane.
