Hi Steve, Yes there is. Finder --> preferences -> general. Unfortunately, that isn't what I want. I want to keep them away from the desktop, but be able to access them all from a "computer" icon on the desktop. This behavior would be similar to Linux (gconf-editor) where you can choose to have a computer icon on the desktop.
