I have two instances of the same desktop folder. One is on the Desktop with the name desktop and the other in File explorer with the same name, desktop.
Both are identical. see attached pdf. if I erase the one on the desktop, the one in file explorer is being erased as well. If I "save as" to desktop the items ave to both folders but they don't show on the desktop proper. I can drug and drop any item from both folders to the desktop proper without a problem. Any suggestion?
Thank you
Michael

Yes, unfortunately it is very easy to do something like that.
