For QuickBooks Pro for Mac 2007 only:

You may have experienced this issue but no data loss has occurred. Each time you attempted to update QuickBooks, a file was created.in the User folder. If you had attempted to update three times, you would have created three new files. Or if you had attempted to update four times, you would have four new files. These files were named in the following manner: Desktop1, Desktop12, Desktop123, Desktop1234, and so on. It is okay to delete these newly created files from the User folder.

Critical: Do not remove the folder named Desktop. Only remove the files that are named in manner shown above.
