How are you, and what type of file, are you creating on the desktop.
I just did the following....
Right click on the desktop and selected "Create New--->Link to Application" and then
configured it to start Firefox. In doing so I gave it the name "Run Firefox" which is how
it appears on the desktop. I also adjusted the properties to have the FF icon displayed.
I started FF using this desktop file several times.
I then right-clicked on the icon, picked "Rename" and changed it to just "Firefox". After
that I clicked it again and Firefox started without incident.
I haven't tried a link to an application. In my case:
Right-click on Desktop, Create New --> Folder.
Name the folder "foo".
Click on foo, opens File Manager in foo directory. Close that.
Right-click on foo, Rename. "bar"
Click on bar... Error.
(After reboot, clicking on bar works.)
Same thing happens with Create New --> Text File.
This condition exists in my login and my wife's login, since I'm not sure when.
