If I understand that then add the auto option and remove any noauto, user and owner options from those filesystems in /etc/fstab. Run "killall nautilus" after you edit /etc/fstab to reload the desktop. Here are some examples from my /etc/fstab: # These entries do not show on my desktop and are always mounted: LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1 /dev/md1 /home ext3 defaults 1 2 # These entries do show on my desktop and can be mounted/umounted by me: /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0 /dev/cdrom1 /mnt/cdrom1 auto noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0 > You did give me one big clue.

Those are saved views, thumbnails, etc. Every time you move an icon in a folder set to Arrangement->Manually the corresponding XML file in ~/.nautilus/metafiles is modified to reflect the new position. (Failing reason, manually hack the desktop's XML file to move the icon off screen? Ugh.) When you view a folder full of photos, fonts, movies, etc a PNG thumbnail will be created for each file in ~/.nautilus/metafiles. -- David Norris http://www.webaugur.com/dave/ ICQ - 412039
