Cant view Desktop using List View----Help

[gigi]

Hi,
i cant view Desktop using List View, if i try to then that particular window will frezze. everything else is unaffected. i can view the Desltop folder in Colums and Icon views....i can view every other folder in List view except the Desktop folder
It is a small problem but its freaking me out.
any advice greatly appreciated
thanks

Try deleting the .DS_Store file of the desktop (it keeps track of the view options) - simple open a terminal and type this

rm ~/Desktop/.DS_Store

Then your desktop should behave normal
