Removing shortcuts from places

[braikar]

The solution is in /home/user/.config/user-dirs.dirs !

By default it looks something like:

XDG_PUBLICSHARE_DIR="$HOME/Public"
XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR="$HOME/Download"
XDG_MUSIC_DIR="$HOME/Music"
XDG_VIDEOS_DIR="$HOME/Videos"
XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/Desktop"
XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR="$HOME/Documents"
XDG_TEMPLATES_DIR="$HOME/Templates"
XDG_PICTURES_DIR="$HOME/Pictures"

change it to:

XDG_PUBLICSHARE_DIR="$HOME/"
XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR="$HOME/"
XDG_MUSIC_DIR="$HOME/"
XDG_VIDEOS_DIR="$HOME/"
XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/Desktop"
XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR="$HOME/"
XDG_TEMPLATES_DIR="$HOME/"
XDG_PICTURES_DIR="$HOME/"

And on the next reboot the bookmarks won't reappear.
But one tiny problem with that is that programs that by default use these folders declarations, might need to modified to point to the correct directory, but it's not really annoying to change..

If you notice a program for example that deals with videos and dumps all the videos in /home/user/ (because that's now where the video folder is defined), just go and change the location of that dir manually...

in short mount the image somewhere else than in your home folder and use mount --bind on startup to link it to the folder in your home folder and it will disappear as a mounted volume.
