It's possible that you have inadvertently made an alias to the finder. The finder (little happy face) is an actual program that lives in system/library/core services. You can't move it or copy it without changing the permissions but you can make as alias of it. Has the happy face got a little arrow in the bottom left corner? Does it have a name? If you can select it you can get info on it with apple key +i. That will tell you more about it. Rob
