When I start gnome, it always mounts all windows partitions. I unmount them, and the next time I start gnome there they are again: disgusting. I think Nautilus is responsible for that, but I don't see any thing in the configuration for disabling that automatism.
In /etc/fstab, change the entries for your windows partitions to have "noauto" instead of "auto".
That should sort it :-)
Huh? MMmm..., yes, you are right, that works. I was uncanny. When I first logged it, there they were, half a dozen icons. I removed them, exited saving the session, and logged in again: good, they dissapeared. When I rebooted and logged in again, there they were, back there in the desktop. 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. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
