    disable blank cd autostart

    Hi,

    I have Ubuntu 10.04 with Gnome. Whenever I put in a blank CD/DVD an icon on the desktop appears named "Blank CD/DVD" and a window appears asking me what I want to do with it.

    How do I disable the window and the icon from the desktop?

    Please help
    Thanks

    That should be configurable via gnome-volume-properties. Go to "System->Preferences->Removable Drives and Media->Storage" (or enter gnome-volume-properties in the run dialog) and change the settings under Blank CD and DVD Discs.

    it's done in File Management which is an option in System > preferences that's not enabled by default
    One of many ways
    Code:
    nautilus-file-management-properties
    Look under 'Other Media'

    If you wish to have FM as a menu option than right click on Applications in upper panel > edit menus and under System > Preferences you'll see File Management in the r. side box. Click to enable.
