I have got /etc/fstab to mount my windows ntfs hard drive and five network (samba) shares at boot. All works fine except that it then puts icons on my desktop. I don't want icons -- I am perfectly happy going to /mnt/... to browse them Is there anything I can do to Nautilus or in fstab to stop getting desktop icons? My /etc/fstab has these entries: /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows ntfs owner,user,uid=500,gid=500 0 0 //fido/gardner /mnt/fido/gardner smbfs username=gardner,password=xxxxxxxx,uid=500,gid=500,rw 0 0 //fido/liturgy /mnt/fido/liturgy smbfs username=gardner,password=xxxxxxxx,uid=500,gid=500,rw 0 0 //fido/public /mnt/fido/public smbfs username=gardner,password=xxxxxxxx,uid=500,gid=500,rw 0 0 //fido/studium /mnt/fido/studium smbfs username=gardner,password=xxxxxxxx,uid=500,gid=500,rw 0 0 //fido/webteam /mnt/fido/webteam smbfs username=gardner,password=xxxxxxxx,uid=500,gid=500,rw 0 0 SECONDLY - a trash problem. I deleted a file from my samba share //fido/gardner and it's now in the wastebasket. However, when I try to delete it I get the error message "Directory busy". If I umount //fido/gardner then the file disappears from the watsebasket. Is there any way I can force a deletion? (I've tried rm -f). Any thoughts very much appreciated. Tim
