Well if MacOSX is no longer booting immediately, then it appears installing
rEFInd solved your initial problem, so that is good.

rEFInd is quite configurable via refind.conf, but you may find it is
simpler to just ignore the Windows icon rather than try to force it not to
appear. The hairy details are here:

And rEFInd has it's own mailing list for more user help here:
