Hiding "Macintosh HD" icon

[thebrink]

I just moved from Panther to Leopard. In Panther it was possible to remove the "Macintosh HD" icon in the top right corner from the desktop. But I cant find such a preference anywhere in Leopard. Is it possible to remove it? I hate that ugly icon.

Go to Finder Preferences then uncheck "Hard disks" under "Show these items on the Desktop"

Thanks!
I was looking under "Appearance" in System Prefs.

Click anywhere on your desktop to make the Finder active
Go to the Menu Bar and look under Finder -> Preferences
If you are looking under System Prefs you won't find it
