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.

Any suggestions???
