MacBook Air :: Desktop Icon Defaults To Tiny Size

Jun 23, 2014

My desktop icon size CONTINUALLY defaults to a very tiny size.  I know where to change the size > click on desktop > show view options > adjust icon size; however, inevitably as soon as I close it out, it defaults back to a very tiny size..I mean VERY tiny.  So I have to continually do the above procedure to increase the size again. Doesn't look like there is a way to LOCK that desktop icon size.

MacBook Pro :: Why Did Duplicate Icon Of Hard Drive Show Up On Desktop

Aug 20, 2014

MacBook Pro; 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo; 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3; OS X 10.6.8.

The Issue is a duplicate icon of the hard drive appeared on the desktop this AM upon startup.

I don't know what caused it. It just appeared.

It seems to contain everything the start up icon contains when I open it.

I moved it to the trash, but did not erase the trash. I chickened out, so to speak. I removed back to the desktop.

I have the desktop view set to arrange by date modified. It appears approximately half way down the list of icons showing on the desktop. It seems to me that, if it is a duplicate, and by all appearances it is, then it should appear immediately after the real hard drive icon.
