Hey all, hoping you can help out.
> defaults write com.apple.finder ShowHardDrivesOnDesktop -bool true
I accomplished my purpose for that tweak and now want to undo it – I figured it was as simple as changing “true” to “false” at the end, but that didn’t solve the problem. I’m not a Terminal expert and can’t find the answer–any help?
According to the googles, it requires deleting the setting:
defaults delete com.apple.finder ShowHardDrivesOnDesktop
Setting the opposite of this is one way to do it.
If you aren’t seeing it take effect, you might need to restart Finder, or log out/in and see if that does it.
Another option would be:
defaults delete com.apple.finder ShowHardDrivesOnDesktop
Which will remove the setting from your preferences altogether, but even that may require a log out/in.
Awesome, thank you! The second seems to have worked!
Awesome, thank you–that looks like it worked, thanks!
