Cannot eliminate O.O. hard drive icon from Mac desktop
Two ongoing challenges:
1. No matter what I try, I cannot eliminate the open office hard drive icon (picture 1) from my MacBook Pro desktop.
• If I try to drag the O.O. icon to my Applications folder, that just creates an O.O. Alias in the Apps folder. (picture 2)
• The O.O. hard drive icon remains on my desktop.
2. I have to reload O.O. each time I restart the Mac.
• If I restart or shut down the MacBook, my O.O. files turn into locked Word files (unless I pay Microsoft more money to update Word)
• After restarting the Mac, I have to click on the O.O. icon in the Apps folder (now a white color - picture 3) to let O.O. load.
• The O.O. icon turns its regular blue color in the Apps folder after it finishes loading O.O. At that point, all my O.O. files work again.
I appreciate any solution. Thanks.
Dan

Thanks, Julian. Got some additional info. at O.O. forum site that hopefully resolves this issue.

The list stripped off the pictures but you need to right-click the open office disk icon and select eject.
