How to hide hard drive icon

I try to hide the hard drive icon from the users. How do I do this? I'm relatively new to Mac. I see that when I click on Finder --- Preferences, I uncheck the show hard disks on the desktop. How do I do this permanently?

Also, how can I modify items in the Finder?

Much thanks,
 
If your users are on Mac OS X client as local users, set each of them as limited account without admin rights to use simple Finder (System Preferences > Accounts to set up accounts), that way they will not be able to see them.
(Otherwise, use Workgroup Manager for the settings if using Server)
 
It's a standalone machine. Using simple finder does not work for one application. Is there a way to hack it to make it work?
