Hiding desktop folders using Command Line Interface Mac OS X

Hiding desktop folders using Command Line Interface Mac OS X

Realizing that it is possible to change the prefs check-off box in Finder to hide the Hard Drive icon, how would you do this from the command line interface? I.e. what and/or where is the CLI command that emulates the check-off box?

"Disclaimer : This is not the right answer yet, but hopefully someone can build upon it to make it work :-

defaults write ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist ShowHardDrivesOnDesktop -bool false && sudo killall Finder"
