Hard drive always visible on desktop I have one HD named Macintosh HD.
I can’t tell when it happened, but since a few days my HD shows up on my desktop. I tried to disable it in the Finder settings, but it already is.
If I enable it I get a second icon for the same HD.

Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?
Ok, I solved it. A simple restart didn’t do the trick, but this is what worked for me:


Disconnect every external hard drive from my mac
Shut down the mac
Wait 10 seconds and start the mac
