This is not isolated to 10.4 because it used to happen on 10.3 but not as often. What's happening is 2 folders randomly appear on my desktop, they go by the names of "Original Images" and "JPEG Images". I've noticed that it usualy happenes when I download something, and when I take a screen shot.
When I do take a screen shot, the image is stored in the "Original Images" folder and it will not let me take it out of that folder, plus it converts it to a JPEG file in the "JPEG Images" folder.

This is really bugging me as I like to have a neat desktop, and it is really anoying when folders start randomly appearing and having to delete them atleast 10 times a day.

Running 10.4.1
iMac 1.25
Camino browser

I really need help with this, so any suggestions would be greatly apreciated.

Hi Viruscool,
I also had this problem, and came across your post and the one you made on that other site when I was googling for solutions yesterday. I couldn't find any help anywhere on the web but this morning I had an idea and it seems to have solved it for me. Anyway, ctrl-click on the folders that you've been trying to put pictures in to bring up the contextual menu for them, then remove/disable the script "images - add icon". Now try dragging the images from the "Original Images" folder and they should stay out.
Hope this works, Cloud-filter
