- Um, no. If no Disk.info file is found, Workbench will use a default icon
- instead.

- And no, deleting ENV:Sys/def_Disk.info won't work either - there is a default
- icon in ROM. ENV:Sys/def_Disk.info merely allows you to alter the default.
-
- Try this instead:
- nloadwb.lha util/boot 4K 17+Hides device icons from Workbench

- There are probably other tools which can achieve the same thing, but this is
- the only one I turned up after a quick search.
