Terminal opens when clicking desktop…: Apple Support Communities

 

Apple StickerTerminal opens when clicking desktop…: Apple Support Communities. This is an interesting problem. Apparently the solution is from Linc below.

Enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (no typing):

xattr -c ~/Desktop

Try the action again. If the same thing happens, relaunch the Finder by selecting Apple menu > Force Quit… > Finder and pressing return or clicking Relaunch.
