I had that problem come up with Classic Workbench too (no idea what I did).

All you need to do is just click on one of the duplicated icons (Run, Draws, Clear RAM and CX Handler in my case) and delete it.

Problem solved.  :)

But...

If he deletes the icons wont they be deleted from the other partitions too? :confused:


If he's having the problem I had, they're just duplicated on his boot partition(s).

I have almost the same setup as he has.  I boot from a SFS Classic Workbench partition and I also back up the same partition to another bootable partition so if something goes wrong while I'm installing software, etc then I can just copy the backup partition back to the primary.  I did "something" (got knows what) and ended up with 4 duplicated icons on Workbench screen.  I lived with them for ages because I couldn't find out how to get rid of the duplicates or how they were being generated until I decided to try the obvious and delete them (if I screwed up then I could just copy my backup to the primary again).  Deleting them worked.  No probem.

Failing that, he can always yank them back from his recyle bin.
