Howzit guys,

Just a quick question. How do I stop Ubuntu showing my mounted (USB flash drive, hard drives, ect) on my desktop??

Thanks.

Unmount them ?

;-)

I don't think you can (easily) actually... Although some guru will probably......

That's just a quick bypass.

Thank you for the reply.

As yourself type gconf-editor into a terminal window. Navigate Apps -> Nautilus -> Desktop. Untick the volumes_visible box.
