        A) Your NT Server is at Service Pack 4, or below... Maybe.
The open/closed
folder issue was fixed for SFM in SP5... But since you use Thursby's DAVE,
your mileage may vary on this one;

        B) DesktopFolderDB is where the Icons are stored, and supposedly their
positions. But since the server has no way of recreating them, since SFM is
not installed, about the only way to delete it is with System 6.0.8 or
earlier; or with the utility supplied by Novell with a name that escapes me.

        Hope this helps at least a bit...

        Cheers!
        Dan
