'mount nobrowse' looks interesting, but Cloaking Device as is seems to work perfectly.

The 3 partitions I've cloaked are all empty partitions and my desktop looks awful when all 7 are mounted. However, hiding a partition such as "Backup" might be a good thing. I never manually open it (until I have a real bad problem!) and since it's mounted, my backup application knows how to use it.

I looked at these, but did not immediately find anything useful. Thanks.
