home and net drives appearing on Desktop

3

On my Desktop, there are two external drives that won't go away. They are named home and net. They are hidden drives, but I have hidden files set to show. Is there any way to get them to go away, and what are they? I am running Mac OS X Snow Leopard, but it was there under Leopard too (I did something to make them appear but I can't remember what.)

You can hide the drives in Finder's preferences.

Uncheck Hard disks.

For me, it was the 'Connected servers' that was the problem, displaying 'home' and 'net' icons. Thanks for the solution. – Jonathan Hartley – 2012-01-04T12:20:47.483

Actually, I had to uncheck just Network drives. But you let me in the right direction. Thanks! – Isaac Waller – 2009-12-09T05:40:46.843
