Strange Explorer / Desktop Behavior

[2635599]

hey guys i have what i consider an odd one. if i open pc, click on 10, users, 2635599, desktop it just shows the items i actually see if i view my desktop. now if i send desktop from there to desktop as a shortcut and then click on the shortcut besides seeing the only items i actually have on my desktop i see my drives. now also if i mouseover desktop on workshelf i also see my drives even though they're not actually on the desktop. it's a bit annoying to say the least. anyone have any way of correcting this behavior so only the items that are actually on my desktop show when i click the desktop shortcut and when i mouseover workshelf.
