[QUOTE="john2in3, post: 1280698, member: 152265"] [b]solved[/b] Just stumbled onto my old post. The way to do this is to set the finder preferences to show the disk drives. After they are shown, you can create an alias by right clicking or its equivalent. Then you reset the finder preferences to not show the drives anymore. The drives go away but your alias remains. This is useful if you (like me) have a lot of of disk drives and you want to show some but not all of them on your desktop. [/QUOTE]
