(Solved) Hide automatically mounted drives on desktop?

Postby DaddyX3 » Sun Feb 03, 2008 2:48 pm

What do I edit to keep some of my partitions and drives that are automatically mounted NOT show on my desktop? I want them to mount - but just not be shown on the desktop.

EDIT: Took 3 minutes on google and its all taken care of :D
Thank You "How-TO Geek" !

This is the gist of it:
Alt+F2 and enter: gconf-editor:
Screenshot-Run Application.png
Run application

In the Left hand tree goto Apps>>Nautilus>>Desktop
Then in the right hand window pane un-tick volumes_visible
Screenshot-Configuration Editor - desktop.png
Making the Adjustments

Heres a neet little thing I didn't even know existed: tick computer_icon_visible and you get a little computer icon on your desktop instead of numerous partitions and drives all over your desktop :D Looks much cleaner!

One little side note for ya. You can easily add the configuration editor to the accessories menu. Just right click on the menu bar, click on edit menus, scroll down to system tools and click on that area, then put a check mark in the box beside configuration editor (it will be in the right hand panel). Enjoy :)

If you're like me you are soooo tired when you're trying to do stuff it's hard to focus. I used to get online real late and could barely read the screen... :)
