Removing mounted drive icons in GNOME


Recommended Posts

Running Fedora 8.

Trying to go minimal on icons, but I have a load of mounted drives. How can I make it so that they aren't shown on the desktop?

I saw some stuff using gconf or something but it doesn't work for some reason for me...

I thought Ubuntu was supposed to be user friendly. That guide is definitely overly complicated. Open up the Menu > System Tools > Configuration Editor > apps > nautilus > desktop and uncheck "volumes_visible"

Press Alt-F2

And enter "gconf-editor"

Apps > Nautilus > Desktop > Volumes Visible

Just took the time to say - Thanks, too!

Positive feedback, you know...

Bookmarked this Site, with the new Hardy, it seems a bare necessity!

this proved to be a useful thread, never really thought to look how to remove the icons, but they did annoy me. +1
