Weird question here perhaps...
In Leopard, when choosing what to have on my sidebar in the Finder Preferences, It seems to me that it makes no sense to have my "computer" show up as well as the hard drives, since the hard drives are a subset of the computer. So I have simply chosen to see the computer and drill down to the various hard drives if needed.
This still leaves me with a bunch of hard drives showing up on the desktop however, so I was going to switch the desktop to mimic my sidebar choices.
Lo and behold it can't be done (it seems).
I can make the hard drives *not* show on the desktop, but I still need to be able to have *something* to click on when I want to open a finder window.
Does anyone know if there is a way to have the computer show on the desktop (a la Microsoft's "My Computer" feature), instead of the hard drives? I have no need to take up yards of desktop space with hard drives just because I happen to have more than one or two.
