Hiding Desktop Icons?

13 months user

no, I didn't find anyway to do it.

 

Finder > Preferences

General Tab. Anything that is not one of those options can be moved elsewhere in the filesystem.

Alternatively, you can use Backdrop

 

huh, interesting, how about other icons?

 

Try Camouflage

 

alternatively if you want to hide it from plain view - e.g. more than just hiding the icon but the file itself just use
mv filename .filename
though I'm not certain this is what you're looking for

 

you can hide Hard Drives, Servers, and Cd's DVD's iPod's etc. in the built in software through Finder>Preferences

if you want to hide everything you could try a program

 

Just quit the Finder...


(You can add a Quit Finder item to your menu using something like Tinkertool or typing "defaults write com.apple.finder QuitMenuItem -bool yes" in Terminal.)

 

cn't find the general tab?
