I have windows installed through Boot Camp. Anybody know if there is a way to either get rid of the windows HD icon on the OS x desktop or change the name of the Windows volume. Right now it shows up as "Untitled" and I would rather it say "Windows HD" or not appear at all. Thanks.

I'm not sure of a way to make it disappear all together, however if you boot into Windows and then go to my computer, right click on the windows hard drive, and then in the preferences you can change the name. I am not exactly sure where on the Windows machine it is, however I know you have to boot into Windows, and it is something within my computer.

Hope that helped,

Thomas
