I'm on 10.4 and every time I save a document to the desktop or save anything to the desktop 3 of my folders are removed from the sidebar. It's pretty frustrating because I need to save things to the desktop. Is there any way to stop this from happening or is there a way to lock the finder sidebar to prevent changes to it?

Thanks for any help.

No idea. Have you tried moving prefs to the trash and restarting?

com.apple.finder.plist
com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
 
You'll probably have to reconfigure some settings.
