I've got a similar problem, but mine is that my Stuffit Deluxe 2.01 icons -- ALL of them, even those for the various extensions, translators, magic Menu, etc. disappeared!! The same thing happens with Stuffit Classic (on a different disk, so don't say that the two icons are cancelling each other out). The funny thing was that once, SOMEHOW, I managed to get my icons back, but now I recently had to rebuild the desktop, and they're gone again! Stuffit app- ears as a generic application icon, and all Stuffit archives (1.5.1 and Deluxe) appear as generic documents. None of my other icons are suffering this problem.

They told me that at the time of StuffIt Deluxe v2.0.1 introduction, they weren't sure of how system 7 would do to their Magic Menu. So they decided to turn the Magic Menu off to prevent system crash! There will be an upgrade in the late summer for full system 7 compatibility. Good luck! --------------------- Wilson Chan

I have the same problem! Rebuilding the desktop doesn't help, and the
bundle bit is set. The only way I've been able to fix it is to delete
StuffIt Deluxe, rebuild the desktop, and then reinstall it from the
original disk. (Copying from a backup doesn't work.) This icons
remain for a while (sometimes weeks) then disappear again.
I don't have a copy of StuffIt 1.5.1 or StuffIt Classic causing a
conflict either.
I'm running System 7 on a Mac IIci.

But here is an even funnier one! I have been using Desktop Manager on 6.0.5 for quite a while but I still have the desktop files lying around on my HD partitions. I got system 7 and installed it on a clean partition on my HD. I had no other partitions mounted. When I had completed the installation, I used the Silverlining DA (which I had "copied" from the original SL disk) to mount my other partitions. The system immediately starts rebuilding my desktops and "configuring" my partitions for System 7. First it does my system 6.0.5 startup partition (which is NOT the current startup partition, that's system 7). OK so far. Then it starts to rebuild my applications partition. When my applications partition is complete, ResEdit 2.1 which is in a folder on the application partition has ended up with the Icon for INIT Picker which only exists on my system 6.0.5 startup partition. What's even stranger, is that this only appears when I run system 7. When I run 6.0.5 (with DM) I have the normal ResEdit Jack-In-The-Box. Also, it is ONLY the system 7 finder window and get-info box that has the wrong Icon, the correct icon shows up in the Apple Menu and in other places where Icons are displayed.
