[DuoList] Duo 280...Extra Hard Drive Icons on Desk Top

Hi Gang,

When I boot one of  my 280’s (the “superfast” one with
the 40M of memory) I find the HD symbol in its regular
place in the upper right corner of the screen but,
watch this,  six more identical HD icons appear on the
desk top.  They are all functional in that the
contents of the HD open when any one is double
clicked.  I trashed the extra sextet but got a notice
to the effect that they would reappear on the next
reboot.  And they did. 

What do do? Rebuilt the desk top with mixed results. 
At the end of the rebuild cycle the desktop doesn't
return to "normal."  Instead, the rebuild window
reopens and offers me the choice of rebuilding or
canceling. If I choose 'rebuild" again, it goes thru
the cycle followed by a repeat of the same and I'm
forced to employ a hard shutdown to get rid of the
rebuild window.  On the reboot the extra HD icons are
still present.

The extra HD icons seemingly have no impact on the
operation of the 280...everything functions normally,
so far.  However, they would appear to be symptomatic
of something gone wrong and I'd like them outta there.

Any/all help appreciated.

Jack C
