I am using the Ubuntu 11.04 and also windows 7 in my system. So when i opened the D drive which is NTFS file system in Ubuntu it creates a shortcut is the launcher. Previously when i had Ubuntu 10.04 shortcut appeared on desktop. Guys tell me why this happens i mean why shortcut appears in launcher or desktop .Is there any method to remove this?

Why they appear? Because it is designed that way.

You can alter some hidden configuration settings to change the behaviour. You can find how to do that here: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/04/how-to-remove-mounted-drives-from.html, starting from the second section "How to remove mounted drives from the Ubuntu Unity launcher". Thus, you could decide to have your removable drives apprear on your desktop, in the unity launchbar, or not at all.
