xaccers, create a short cut to it. Use tweak xp to remove the real icon from the desktop, then rename the short cut.
Simple really

But isn't that anti-competative?
What about all those poor desktop rotation developers out there that Apple are preventing from making any money?
Bad Apple! Go sit in the corner!

Well there has to be some advantage to being in a minority...
You're right though, Apple gets away with murder. The Apple-designed digital media software that's bundled with them would have had the US supreme court in fits if it had been M$ bundling with Windows. And Apple has pushed Final Cut Pro so hard that Adobe has backed out of the market for Mac video editing to concentrate on a Windows-only version of its own software. Who would have thought we'd see the day?

Towny, what you forget is that mac is a proprietry system, unlike Windows/DOS/PCs... which are, in a sense "open source" where people can find snippets of code, and use standard programming techniques and applications for building programs. Where-as macs are owned by Apple, and in theory, like xbox, only allow "signed" programs to run, thus making it an Apple only machine.
Apple dont fall into the anti-trust sections of the US law, because its there technology to do with as they want.

Utter BS - there is absolutely nothing 'open source' about any Micro$oft product. Its source code is a very closely guarded secret. Apple's Darwin, on the other hand, is truly open source as you well know and have discussed in other threads. It's UNIX, for goodness sake ... it doesn't get much more open than that.
As for hardware, yes, Apple's hardware is proprietory, but then so is PC. The only difference is IBM have licenced their product; Apple by and large have not.
As for US anti-trust legislation, it is designed to protect against market dominance and has nothing to do with whether a product is proprietory or not. For a whole range of reasons (poor marketing by Apple in the 1990s being one of them) Microsoft has a dominant position in the desktop Operating System market. This leads to closer scrutiny of their business practices than for Apple, which has a comparitively tiny share of the desktop OS market.
