When I added a shortcut to my desktop a second one appears

anyone know how to stop this - I think it happened because of my user account setup.... Any help greatly appreciated.
 
BMW - I don't think that's his problem :)

I believe blagud is saying that two shortcuts appear instead of one.

Blagud - do a search for Desktop folders and if the shortcut appears in more than one folder then try to delete from the other(s) - I believe that will help. It's worth a try.
 
Allan you might be right there.... But that tweak in the software
tweak xp pro prevents that occuring if checked.

Get the reg men on this one.
 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders\ Desktop

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders\Desktop

These two must be different
 
If i could post a screeny? or attach then i would explain in more
detail...............Where has all these functions gone?

A little white box post reply......umumumumu
 
This also happens to but not all the time. When I make a shortcut sometimes I will end up with two. I just delete one & make sure the one left works. :eek:

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
