Any MacWizard know how to repair a trashed Desktop file?  Finder goes
completly west when I put the disk in, but Fedit (and other applications)
says all the files are there.  I have tried getting Finder
to rebuild the desktop, but that fails also.

The crash is spectacular - it looks like Finder starts to put up a
alert box of some kind then goes beserk, twiddling the screen, sound chip
and serial chips (at this point I manually eject the disks and watch the fun).

I am using System 2.2 and Finder 4.1 on a pre-HFS 512K.
