Why does the Finder Repeat Apps on Desktop?

Are they both taking up space? If not, I'd guess someone installed a symlink-creating cron as an April Fools joke.
Uh, what prefs do you want me to delete?
And yes, they are both taking up space on my desktop, they don't dis-apear when I click them, they acually link to the program/file/folder.
b) no one in my family uses my comp enough to pull this off as a joke, or knows any commands or what the terminal does.

Delete your Finder preferences, since this is happening in the Finder.
I had a similar thing happen in System Preferences. My Internet preference icon was repeating a number of items, and it turned out that it was a stray PreferencePane that I had added months ago. Removing it solved the problem.
Sorry for the 3-post spree, but this is geting Annoying, anyone, my files are duplicating and I like my desktop to be clean and compact not taking up 2x the space!
