idividebyzero Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Is it possible to remove the HDD icons from the desktop (without unmounting them)? I have a lot of partitions and I dont need them all on the desktop, thats what the Finder should be for.

Schweppes Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Yes, you can. In Finder, go to Preferences and deselect "Hard Disks" Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/50584-how-do-i-remove-hdds-from-the-desktop/#findComment-361904 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mebster Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Yes, you can.In Finder, go to Preferences and deselect "Hard Disks" If you remove them how do you get to them later when you need to access files without going back into Finder's Preferences?

Mebster Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Silly me. I guess you mean the windows from 'Go'. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/50584-how-do-i-remove-hdds-from-the-desktop/#findComment-361941 Share on other sites More sharing options...
idividebyzero Posted May 9, 2007 Author Share Posted May 9, 2007 Thanks, I also wished clicking on the finder icon would open up something else besides the stupid Home folder, I didnt know you could customize that too. Ideally I would like to keep just the OS X disk on the desktop but oh well, I can just create an alias.

idividebyzero Posted May 9, 2007 Author Share Posted May 9, 2007 I know that now, hence why I said "I didnt know you could" which is past tense Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/50584-how-do-i-remove-hdds-from-the-desktop/#findComment-361974 Share on other sites More sharing options...
