Do the usual stuff such as quitting programs and logging out/in to see if the problem goes away. If not, run Terminal and type cd Desktop ls You should see a list of your desktop files. Find the ones you want to get rid of and type rm "filename" for each one, where "filename" is the name a file you want to trash. If it yells at you about permissions, try sudo rm -rf "filename" and answer with your login password when asked. (I'm assuming you're an administrator here.) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
