Finder not responding

[drmajor]

I created a desktop icon and dragged Safari Bookmarks to it. Ever since, it keeps reloading the icon's finder and I have X-# of finder windows open and makes finder not responding.

Mavericks System Version: OS X 10.9.5 (13F1066)
Kernel Version: Darwin 13.4.0.

Also, all my desktop icons are not showing up.

I relaunched Finder and have cold booted. No luck.

Suggestions?

Delete the desktop icon, reboot and while rebooting holding down CMD-OPTION-P-R keys, keeping them until the computer reboots twice and you hear a full volume bong sound.
