    Why do I have a desktop folder on actual desktop.


    I have a folder named "desktop" on my actual desktop. The same identical desktop folder as in file explorer. When I save a document to desktop it is being saved to the weird desktop folder on my desktop and in file explorer's desktop but is not showing on the desktop proper. I can drug that document to the desktop proper but cannot save directly to desktop. Erasing the weird "desktop" folder from the desktop proper erases desktop folder from file explorer. I moved location of my desktop, documents and download folders to d:\ from their original location on c:\. Any suggestions?Thank you.

    :)
