Dock is usually hidden with magnification turned off. I use adium and quicksilver and growl, but don't have them in the menubar (no point in having them, in my opinion). I also turn off desktop icons (harddrive, mounted drives, cds, etc.)

I see this comment from a lot of people, so I guess a retort is needed to point something out that may not be apparent until you start customizing Adium:
You can customize Adium such that it has no options bar on top of the buddy list. For an example, see my full-res screenshot here. It's on the far left. I've blurred out the names just for privacy issues, but you can still see that there's no bar at the top for various options, such as choosing away message.
Now, one might say "hey, just right-click the dock icon and do that!" To those nay-sayers, I say.... "nay!" While that's an option, you have to go through an extra branch in the menu to get to the global status options. And even then, there's no individual options for different accounts (at any one time I'm logged into AIM, Yahoo!, MSN, ICQ, and Jabber). Sometimes I like individual states for the accounts.
Simply put- when you have multiple accounts and have the buddy list in a minimalist view, the menubar icon is actually quite useful (moreso than the dock icon).

Now, for Quicksilver... I agree, both the dock and menubar icon are unnecessary- I still leave the dock icon just for the heck of it though

I leave the dock icon simply so it's easier to restart if QS starts hoggin' resources or just needs to be restarted. For whatever reason, the "Relaunch" action works with most apps...but not QS itself :)
 
Super late

Well, May 31 is still May. This is my wife's midterm for her photoshop class. Pretty good for a first planet.

How did you change the icon for your Windows drive? When I try to change mine to that same icon, it won't let me.

That's not my screenshot, but... you have to boot into Windows and change the icon there. I can't recall the exact method off the top of my head for changing Windows icons (IIRC, it's a different process to be done on the boot drive than on other ordinary ones).

It's my screenshot, and you're totally wrong. :)

Sometimes it reverts itself, but I did it in the normal way you do it for OS X. I guess the issue might just be if you formatted your drive as NTFS, which OS X can't write to natively. Mine's formatted as FAT32, so can be written to.
