One way to replace a broken Desktop folder

I agree with mpanighetti

1. Delete the desktop folder. Use terminal to do this if necessary.
2. Log out
3. Log in

The OS X hints are not what they used to be. I guess this is because this site is doing it's job too well. Well done, macosxhints.com. How about reducing your daily hints quota or taking some time off until Leopard is released so that you don't dilute your brand and reputation.
