I have two volumes.

One is a basic install of the OS to provide a backup boot volume I can use if I need to.
Is there a way to have it disappear off of the desktop when I log into the machine with a non-admin account to the main boot volume? I just don't want people to be able to screw with it.


Thanks
Robert

Name it ".SomeName" and the finder won't show it, don't know if you can boot off it that way but it quick enought to test to see if you can.
