Check out what the values are set to for the following registry entries ;

"Desktop"=""

The top two values (named "Desktop") are associated with *your* profile,
and should point to ;
"C:\Documents and Settings\%UserName%\Desktop"
...however, the bottom two values (named "Common Desktop") should point to
the common profile ;
"C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop"
..if the top two values are set to the same as the bottom two, then they
will display a single icon (at that location) twice, on your desktop!
If this is the case, return the values to those given below :
(In the first entry given, you can replace %UserName% for your profile's
User Name, but in the rest copy exactly what is written here)
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\Shell
Folders]
"Desktop"="C:\Documents and Settings\%UserName%\Desktop"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\User
Shell Folders]
"Desktop"="%UserProfile%\Desktop"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Explorer\Shell
Folders]
"Common Desktop"="C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Explorer\User
Shell Folders]
"Common Desktop"="%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Desktop"
