Dual Icons on Desktop

When I create icons by either copying or creating
shortcuts, two icons appear on the screen. When I remove
one of them, the second one only stays until I start an
application. When the application terminates then both
Icons are gone.

How can I fix this?
 
Hi Dave,

See if this applies:

Go to Start/Run/Regedit and navigate to this key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersi
on\Explorer\User Shell Folders

Change CommonDesktop from:
%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Desktop

To:

CommonDesktop
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop
