Unfortunetly ur old winamp shortcut might not be deleted i suppose.....

The reason is:

Whenever u create a shortcut of ne file on desktop and if a shortcut is already there with the same name, then windows append (2), (3), .... in the file extension.

And since u hv enabled the option of "Hide file extensions of known file type" in FOLDER OPTIONS, its not displaying the extensions.

Actually those 2 winamp files hv different file extensions!

1 is "winamp.exe" and other is "winamp.exe(2)".

the pic is good....xp messes up sometimes.

try this:
first enable the manual blue-screen hotkey.
create a new shortcut in desktop using the wizard.
click browse to select some file, before clicking ok, do the bsod trick.

restart your comp and theres a "New Shortcut" on your desktop pointing nowhere...lol

Just delete a shortcut ..... it'd be fine anyway ....

Two shorcuts can exist together as their metadata is always different ....

Ok I FOUND the explaination myself.One shortcut is of te admin and the other if of all user so window is showing both of them on the admin's desktop.But the desktop folder of admin and all user have only one such file.
