Hey guys i was wondering if their was a way to remove the hardrive label when its on the desktop? I want to just have the hardrive with nothing on it so it looks a bit cleaner. I searched all over for the answer and couldnt find it anywhere.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I think he wants to keep the hard drive icon but get rid of the label. Don't know how to do that.

Have your background set to a solid colour, set the label to the same colour and use a space instead of text on the label.

I haven't tried it but there shouldn't be much shadow on the label.

Thats exactly what i want to do. I have a nice background on the desktop i just want a cleaner look. Thanks for all the help guys!
 
It still leaves that little bubble thats really what i am trying to remove. I would take a screen shot but i am at work on our garbage windows computers!

When I do that, I only get the empty bubble when I click on the HD icon. Otherwise, nothing is there and it's clear.
 
click on Hard Drive icon then click on file and goto label color and use the x. This will erase the color of the bubble then just put 1 space inside it. The bubble color is now transparent.
