I hate automatisms that can not be disabled. Well... at least your trick disables that behaviour, unless I want some partition mounted by the system automatically.
In this case it's not so much a trick or work-around - editing /etc/fstab is the proper Linux mechanism for recording the desired mount state (among other things) of the system at boot time.
Agreed.
The desktop behaved correctly by reflecting fstab. If you don't want these partitions mounted automatically, then you did the right thing following John's advice. If you do decide you want a particular partition mounted at boot time, change your 'noauto' back to 'auto'.
No, what I want is no icons reflecting the mounted windows partitions. I want to be able to choose what icons I have in my own desktop, regardles of what the designer thought I would like. Ie, Full control! The only way I know is disabling nautilus from dawing my desktop. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
