Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
Several of the .rtf and alias files on the desktop of our new AIR have become stuck together and can't seem to be separated. How do I do so? One title covers up another so some can't even be checked.

Open the Finder.
From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
Click Go then move the com.apple.desktop.plist file to the Trash then restart your Mac.
If that didn't help, do the same for: ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
Better to keep files in folders than aliases on the desktop.
