Hide Time Machine drive from Lion desktop?

[kirkbross]

Is there an easy way to hide the Time Machine drive from the desktop?

I used to be able to do it with a terminal command, but since I installed Lion, I can't seem to hide the drive.

EDIT: I downloaded and installed Xcode from the App store (free) and then this terminal command worked:

/Developer/Tools/SetFile -a V /Volumes/"Time Machine"/

Hi kirk,
this Finder set-up doesn't work for you?

Hi kirk,

That hides ALL your drives. If you only want to hide 1 drive (like Time Machine in this case) I think you have to use a terminal command.

AppleScript to hide drives

Hi kirkbross,

I know your question is old now, but just in case you are still looking for a solution, this AppleScript works well for me:

quit application "Finder"
tell application "System Events" to ¬
	set visible of disk "My Drive" to false
delay 1
launch application "Finder"

Just replace "My Drive" with the name of the volume you wish to hide.
