Hide Specific Items From Desktop

I have a partition that I would like to hide from my desktop. However there is only an option in OS X to hide groups or types of drives.

Is there a (preferably free) application to hide certain items from my desktop? Please let me know. Thanks

Go to Finder > Preferences

There, you can choose to show/hide types of drives. (You cannot choose to show/hide ONE specific drive, though.)


Edit: What the heck, must've been in a daze or something, I didn't read the question properly at all, whoops

Click to expand...

Thanks. Like I said there is only an option to hide groups of drives. I would like to find a way to hide specific drives. Thanks anyway

Just select the partitions you don't want on there and hit Command+E.

Tried doing that. Rather than ejecting just the partition it ejects all partitions on that single drive.

How is the drive formatted?

Is the other partition Windows? If so...

You can stop OS X from showing the Windows volume on the desktop by going into Windows and renaming the from "untitled" to ".untitled" or ".whateveryouwant".

The prefix "." will stop OS X from auto mounting the volume on the desktop.

Don't know if this will work with other OS's -- Let me know

Hope this helps
