Sharepoint Volume Icons on Desktop - How to?

Hi All,
I have a few XP Windows boxes, a Tiger box, and a new Snow Leopard box connect to an Xserve (Tiger Server) and Xserve RAID. With the XP and Tiger boxes, I was able to automount the shared Tiger Server/RAID volumes at login...on the Tiger box, the AFP Volumes appear on the desktop (added as login items) and on the XP boxes, just drive mapped the volumes. Well, with the Snow Leopard box, I added the volumes as login items, but I can't seem to get a simple AFP volume icon on the desktop - when logging in, the volumes are mounted and opened as windows in the finder.
Any way to get icons for the volumes to appear on the desktop as was possible in Tiger?
Thanks!

go to finder preferences->general and check the box to show connected servers on the desktop.

Used to right click to put icon on desktop, how do I do that now?

When using InternetExplorer, I would right click on a web page and then left click on "create desktop icon?'. Doesn't do that anymore. How can I do that with Mozilla?

gnitalla,
To begin, the form doesn't fill when I start to type.
I found that I can click on the pencil icon and then down-arrow. But when I do that I have to:
Name-enter, Address-enter, State-enter, Zip-enter. You get the idea. It's about the same as having to type it out anyway, practically.
Thanks, Jake

When I put a website Icon on my desktop, how do I make firefox use the Icon native to that website instead of the default Firefox Icon?

When I drag and drop a website onto my desktop, how can I make Firefox use the icon native to that website instead of the default firefox icon?
I have even gone painstakingly (SEVERAL TIMES) to the sites with IE, dragged the site onto my desktop in order to obtain the site native icons for my desktop (and deleted the ones with the Firefox icon) .... but they all soon revert to the default Firefox icon.
E X T R E M E L Y F R U S T R A T I N G !!!!!!!!!

I don't want icons from the Firefox library.
I want the icon that comes from the website I'm making the shortcut for.
(If you go to a site in IE you will see the site generated icon at the left end of the URL in the address field.)
If I make IE my default browser I am able to get (and keep) those icons as shortcuts on my desktop without a problem.
I want to keep Firefox as my default browser.
So I want to know how to make Firefox accept the icon that comes from the website like IE does.
I have even gone to the trouble to use IE to create the shortcuts with the site specific icons.....but after I do that...... FIREFOX CONVERTS THEM TO THE FIREFOX DEFAULT ICON as soon as I re-boot or refresh my desktop.
I generally prefer Firefox as a browser....but If there's no fix.....I'm going to dump Firefox.

My volume icon has been on my screen since yesterday, and won't go away! It is in the way of my reading! How do I get it to go away??

Hi there.. need some help with my iphone 4. I was using mapquest on a road trip yesterday, and the volume icon showed up on my screen, and now won't go away. The volume buttons work (increase/decrease volume), but the volume bar no longer corresponds to the increase/decrease in volume. I can't figure out how to make the volume icon go away. It is superimposed on other apps so it makes reading (e.g. mail, news) annoying since I have to read around the icon. Can someone give me some advice on what to do? Thanks!

How to stop volume icon from being displayed randomly

How to stop volume icon from being displayed randomly

Thanks for the quick response.
I have a number of slides which act as a training module. The quiz follows this. All the answers to the quiz are in the module slides. I'd like the user to be able to see which questions they're failing on, but not be shown the answers, as, if they are failing the quiz, the whole module needs to be reviewed and the test retaken.
If this isn't possible, I'll probably just remove the review option, thereby meaning my retake button can stay, and the user can just go back and re-read the module slides to learn the answers.
Thanks

How to get rid of Icons on Desktop?

I have Documents and Pictures folders in Macintosh HD and as icons on the Desktop. When I clean up the Desktop by dragging the icons to Trash in the dock, that works OK. But later when I try to access anything via Documents or Pictures on the HD I get a message that it can't be opened because it's in Trash, and I must drag it out of Trash. How can I get rid of the icons on Desktop and still access stuff in Documents and Pictures?

Drag the icons on the desktop to the folder in the Finder's sidebar with the house icon, renaming folders as needed.

If it appeared because you were changing the Finder's preferences, change them back. If not, just delete the item.

HT4085 The volume icon won't leave the screen and I can't seem to reset the volume. Does anyone know how to fix this?

My iPad2 will not clear the volume icon from the screen no matter what I do. I've reset the ipad and nothing I do will make that icon go away and I can no longer control the volume. Am I missing something here, or does this warrant a trip to the Apple store?

The volume icon on the screen means that the pad thinks you are pressing the volume rocker on the side. Make sure that it is not being pressed by a case, or a dent, or anything else. Make sure it rocks back and forth freely without getting stuck.
If it moves freely, and if you have already done a full reboot, then a trip to the store may be in order.

I just got an iPad mini and the volume icon will not come off the middle of the screen. I tried turning it off and on but that didn't work. Any one know how to solve this problem? Please help!

My volume icon won't go away on my iPad mini

Try resetting the ipad by holding the home and lock button simultaneously until the device restarts.

Dock Drive "Volume" Icons

I am reinstalling software to my PowerMac G5 using OS X (10.5.2) after a hardware problem. When I drag my volume icons from the desktop to the right side of the dock, the icons change from those of drive icons to folder icons (except for the first partition of my boot drive). My computer currently has 2 internal drives: HD 1 (boot drive with 2 partitions, A & B) & HD 2, and 2 external firewire drives: Ext HD 1 and Ext HD 2. How can I retain the icons as displayed on the desktop in the dock?

control-click the drive in the dock, then under "Display As", click "Folder".
Good luck!

Volume Icons No Longer In Top Right Corner

A short time ago (about the time I upgraded to OS 10.4.9 from 10.4.8, but I can't say that it was exactly then) I noticed that the desktop icons for my two HDD volumes moved. They no longer automatically set themselves up in the top right hand corner.
The boot volume is still on top of the vertical list, but the icons are now about a third of the way down the screen. They stay there no matter what I do and return to there if I move them and restart. I've tried every adjustment related to desktop that I could find and nothing affects this condition. Mac Help is useless for this issue.
Any ideas what is going on and how to correct it?
Carl B.

Well I think I've solved the problem. I became suspusious of a couple of folder alias and Word file alias icons that were very near the menu bar and right next to where the HDD icons should always appear, so I moved them far down and to the left. I then manually positioned the HDD icons to their correct position and loaded a CD. The CD icon was properly positioned automatically and I fine tuned the positions of the two HDD icons. I then restarted my Mac.
Upon restart, all the volume icons appeared in there proper place. I ejected the CD and again restarted. Upon the second restart, the two HDD icons remained in their proper place. I think the problem was the folder alias icons being "in the HDD icons space".

After using shift command 4 and send to desktop,how can I had iphoto to the list "open With" to preview menu?

After using shift command 4 to send a photo to the desktop, how can I add iphoto to the list of"open with" menu ?

All that's doing is forcing iPhoto to import the image. Dragging it to the iPhoto icon will do the same, or create an automator action and save it as a Contextual menu item.
