[QUOTE="ForceOneStudio, post: 887399, member: 115188"] Go to MacintoshHD>User>Library>Preferences. Locate this file: com.apple.finder.plist Drag that file to the Trash, then empty the Trash. Reboot your Mac and see if your Desktop looks the way it should. Also, run Disk Utility and Repair Permissions. Disk Utility is in your Applications>Utility folder. Double click to launch it. While it's open, click your mouse on the Icon jumping up and down in the Dock, and click where it says: Keep in Dock, because you should use it at least once a week. Now.. in Disk Utility, select your MacintoshHD in the panel on the left. Click Repair Permissions. It takes about a minute or so to run this. After it's finished Quit Disk Utility. Reboot your Mac. See if the Desktop is acting normally. [/QUOTE]
