My mom (computer illiterate) copied the desktop folder to the desktop. Windows didn't allow me to delete it so I just copied it back over the Desktop folder in my user profile. Now the desktop is all screwed up. Every time I make a shortcut on it, it makes two icons, one of which is permanently stuck and can't be deleted. Anyone know how to fix this?
