Here's the odd thing about this Marc - I was able to work as normal after opening Claris and even in system X - it was just that the icons disappeared on start-up.
It turned out that the Alias's were being duplicated tenfold! So I decided to trash most of them. As I noted I reduced these rescued files considerably. I then shut down last night and this morning turned the computer on with some trepidation to see if all was well. Turns out the desktop loaded normally! with my folders showing up. One folder seems to have buried itself in the documents somewhere but can be found with Spotlight. I am still hoping someone can tell me if this is a bug of some kind or whether I triggered the problem when I began to backup files on a CD-R disk? I also checked Apple's 'Help' tips on burning CD's and this suggests it is somewhat tricky. But whether it triggered the problem or not I don't know! I'll be interested to hear the list's thoughts on this and whether anybody else has experienced a similar problem.
