Hey all. Something mysterious has happened. Whenever I save files to my desktop, the file doesn't actually save to the desktop. It does however show up in the desktop folder under Users. Any idea what's happened and how I can fix this? Thanks.

    It has saved to the desktop, but your desktop didn't correctly refresh. Do something on the desktop that will force it to refresh, like right-click and make a new folder.



    Some programs that are poorly implemented don't correctly notify the Finder that they put something onto the desktop folder, so the desktop doesn't get prompted to update itself.
