Keep Nautilus from showing mounted devices on the desktop
Someguy77: how do I prevent ubuntu from auto placing a icon to my devices on my dekstop? [sic]
Ubuntu, or more correctly Nautilus, Gnome’s file manager, places an icon onto the desktop to show when certain devices, or volumes, are mounted to the system. You can turn this off by running gconf-editor (ALT+F2 to open the run dialog box, type gconf-editor and click Run) and disabling the volumes_visible setting under /apps/nautilus/desktop.
You can also disable it by issuing the following command in a terminal window:
gconftool-2 --set /apps/nautilus/desktop/volumes_visible --type=boolean false
