HI all, this is a strange one. I have the following zerokb/zerokb free volumes showing up on my desktop that can't be ejected nor deleted:

The are located in the root of Macintosh HD on an MBP running Leopard 10.5.2 with all the updates. I have tried repairing permissions and disk, but can't get rid of these items and don't really understand what they are. Scary...the Net volume looks like it has something to do with the network...
thx,

ps.I also have a .DS_Store file that keeps popping up on the desktop that won't go away either. I trash it and one pops right back up...uh oh.

Sounds like you've got your Finder set to show a bunch of stuff that's normally hidden. These two Terminal commands will get rid of the .DS_Store files being visible:

defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -boolean false
killall Finder

As for /home and /net, I'm not sure why those are showing up. On my system, they're there, but not displayed by the Finder. It might have something to do with the AppleShowAllFiles setting being turned on, which the two commands above should take care of, but if they still show up after that, you might want to just try trashing the Finder's preference file, which is in the following location:

Home -> Library -> Preferences -> com.apple.finder.plist

Then log out and back in again, and see if the problem goes away.
