How to disable network mounts shortcuts on desktop?

[martin_lindhe]

Hello

In Gnome (Ubuntu 9.04), I heavily use bookmarks for network shares (smb, ftp, sftp and so on).
Whenever I access a bookmark, then a shotcut to the "mounted" network share appears on my desktop.

Is it possible to disable this shortcut to appear for network shares?
It clutters down my desktop miserably and makes it mostly confusing and messy.

I would still like external media mounts to appear on the desktop (usb stick, cd disc).

I've been searching the forums & google but failed to find any info, maybe because I don't know where to look :-( Any help would be appericiated!

I solved this by getting everything I wanted hidden to mount under /mnt via fstab. You can get network shares mounted this way aswell. However, your PC will mount them at login, so you can't choose to mount, and if you go in via a bookmark, it will still appear on the desktop. I then place symbolic links in a folder on my desktop for all of my drives/network shares.

Anything mounted under /media or /home reacts to the "Volumes Visible" checkbox in gconf-editor as far as I can tell.

Hope that helps.

right click it, choose unmount.

edit: lol, ah, I see.. you do want to keep it mounted/
In that case, follow PureLonewolf " :
mount the shares in fstab,

sorry for misreading, and taking in this space for nothing.

Open up gconf-editor: alt+f2 "gconf-editor".
navigate to /apps/nautilus/desktop and uncheck "volumes visible".

Thank you all, the solution that days_of_ruin suggested does the trick for me!
