		<description>Sorry, i readily admit i don&#039;t have a solution for you, but-- out of curiosity, why do you want for the hard drive to be *in* the Desktop folder? 

It wasn&#039;t in there before the icon fix either, so it won&#039;t be now.

My guess is, that&#039;s separate from the code that regulates folders-- you&#039;ll have to dig deeper into your computer for that special protocol that makes your HD sit on, but not in, your Desktop.

I&#039;ll bet someones got a command, but i wonder if it won&#039;t cause more harm to extract the function than just leaving it in(?)

Good luck, friend; i sure know what it&#039;s like to wanna play with your computer-- mostly my reasoning for spending hours searching &amp; scratching my head is, &quot;Just &#039;cuz&quot;

I must have total control- huzzah!</description>

		<description>The problem with that is, the icons are still there and taking up memory.. Camouflage just sets your wall paper to float on top (like you can set a music player, say). 

You can test it by setting a much smaller wallpaper than your screen size and then toggling Camouflage on &amp; off; the smaller picture is in a sea of icons, and merely drifts in front of the icons it covers, and the back behind them as you toggle &quot;off.&quot; The surrounding icons haven&#039;t moved, and therefore nothing on the desktop has moved.

Basically its purpose is aesthetic, which would be fine-- but doesn&#039;t do the functional work of taking all that media off of your computers mind.

Too bad because i also liked that little app.</description>

		<description>I had a problem with my desktop, it wouldn&#039;t let me click or show anything on it... So I tired the terminal code &quot;defaults write com.apple.finder CreateDesktop -bool true&quot;
Then typed &quot;killall Finder&quot;
Then suddenly everything was back
THANK YOU :)</description>
