"mounted cd-rom" and "mounted samba share" icons on KDE 3.1 desktop

Post by Gerd » Tue, 20 May 2003 10:49:37



I have just installed Mandrake 9.1/KDE 3.1 on my machine. I noticed
that I now have a set of icons coresponding to automounted
directories. For example, I have both a "Mounted CD-ROM" and a
"Mounted Samba (Windows)"-type icon. While I think this is a nice
trick, I would like to remove these icons from my desktop (I prefer
the command line for such things). However, I could not find any way
to achieve this; right-clicking on the icons does not offer a "delete"
choice. I would greatly appreciate if somebody would enlighten me as
to what KDE option or configuration file do I have to modify.

Thank you in advance for all your help.

Right-click your desktop, select Configure Desktop... click Behavior, then
see the bottom section "Devices" If you don't want any devices displayed
uncheck the Display devices on desktop option, or uncheck just those you
don't want in the list.
