In the sidebar, click and drag the bogus Desktop folder out of the sidebar and onto the desktop.
There should be a puff of smoke and it should just disappear.
The icons in the sidebar are actually Alias's so the "real" bogus folder still exists. Find it and put it in the trash. If you cannot find it, don't worry too much, it will not hurt anything

Nothing serious, but when I was once being stupid with my Mac, I deleted the "desktop" folder and..dumbly..created a new one before contacting support. Ever since, I've had 2 desktop folders, my 1 true one, and one annoying non-working imposter.
To help illustrate: look here: http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m28/Alegoo92/Image.png
What I mean is you can see two desktop folders, (the good one is highlighted)
Does anyone know how to delete/rectify this?
