[QUOTE="remain, post: 406304, member: 23182"] If you mean that you can't move the Volume (that's what it's called) to other folders, that's normal. It's like any other volumes/drives. It's not actually "there" on the Desktop; Mac OS X just displays mounted volumes/drives on the Desktop. (In Windows, they would be displayed in "My Computer.") If you mean that you can't move the icon around on the Desktop, auto-arrange might be turned on for your Desktop. Go to the Desktop. View > View Options See if "Keep Arranged by" is checked. If so, uncheck it. Now you should be able to move it around. Here's another series of pictures to show you how installing works, AND how to "get rid of" the volume afterwards: [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v32/dhtns/misc/installing_an_application_1.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v32/dhtns/misc/installing_an_application_2.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v32/dhtns/misc/installing_an_application_3.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v32/dhtns/misc/installing_an_application_4.png[/IMG] He meant under the Finder menu. Finder > Preferences... In the General section, you'll see "Show these items on the Desktop" Choose whichever ones you want. [/QUOTE]
