Autorun when KDE starts??

coolblue · 07-20-2005, 03:10 AM

Why is it that when I login into KDE session, I see this small stupid Autorun disc running in the panel which disappears a bit later. Is there any way I can eliminate this? And WHY ON EARTH DOES THIS HAPPEN?? I haven't seen it on any other KDE-based distro nor does it appear when I login into Gnome. Why ONLY in Fedora's KDE?

Plz help me how to disable this thing as it annoys me a lot and pollutes my otherwise so cool KDE desktop.

Thanks

The fix is pretty simple, go to this directory:
~/.kde/Autostart
Remove the file that is there. KDE will launch any script in that directory at start.

Enjoy.

It autoruns media that is in the computer at bootup (ala autorun when inserting a CD). If you remove your disks before you log out, there's no reason to have it. If you want to use them, it won't KEEP you from running the disks, but you'll have to do it manually.
