This strikes me as odd. As administrator of our system, I often have
other people's hard drives mounted on my desktop, and I have never had
this happen, even thoough the mounted volumes do contain the same
applications whose documents I double click locally...Are you sure your
Desktop file isn't corrupt? Perhaps make it visible with Norton, then
delete it, since option-command is reportedly not always a complete
solution.
