Additional to files/ folders actually located in ~/Desktop/, my Desktop shows icons for external devices. The names allocated have evolved with time (and through no intervention from me) from such as NONAME and NONAME_1 to 3.9G Media (and, in my case, 3.9G Media (2), since I have two identically sized different USB drives). There are no correcsponding entries for any of these in ~/Desktop/. I deduce that they appear by internal magic and convention. Can you help with any of the following: Q1. How can delete these from the Desktop, if I want to? Q2. There is no icon for the Windows hard drive, although this is mounted in /etc/fstab exactly like all the external units. How can I get it displayed similarly on the Desktop? Q3. Can I rename them more descriptively? There is a rename option on right-clicking on the icon, but in all cases this option is greyed out. Thank you. Fergus
