I'm using Knoppix 3.7 (from my HD, not live CD) and I have trying to get rid of some NTFS mounts that knoppix automatically mounts. I have tried to delete the line that mounts the specific partition in the fstab, but when I restart my computer the partition comes back again, or mounted. How do I get rid of this.

- I also changed the icons for these hard disks partions that are mounted and shown on my desktop, but then again when I retart my computer the icons are back to default.

- I also would like for these devices to be mounted on a specific folder that I created on my desktop, so they are not all over my desktop. I move them there and again when I restart my computer these partitions are mounted again onto my desktop and are also, of course, in the folder that I created and wanted them to be.

Any help will be appreciated. This how my fstab looks like:

---------------------------------------------------------------
# /etc/fstab: filesystem table.
#
# filesystem mountpoint type options dump pass

to get rid or the device icons on the desktop:-
configure desktop> behavior >device icons>show hide

Thank you for the reply "junme" but I'm trying to get rid of one specific NTFS partion. I have three NTFS, but I only want two to show with my own customized device icons. I don't see an option that lets me show or hide NTFS partions on the device tab on windows behavior.

Any more ideas would be appreciated.
