1°/ mdk used to do this for removable devices ( CDROM, floppy ) but it ends up it was very ugly and unuserfriendly 2°/ You know I used to see windows desktop with more than 15 icons. That's ugly, but people need to see directly some things or else ... 3°/ Here is the problem -> launching the right filemanager. But in fact we should use the supermount stuff and extend it. Under KDE you can select the device icons you want to show ( see Look&feel -> Comportment -> device icons ). At this time we show CDROm/NFS/SMB/Floppy/Zip icons. We should add FAT32/NTFS drives. This way you can easily disable the icons.

But, will there be any risk, such as, users > could accidently delete stuff from their winbloze partition? So ? under windows they can do it too. On top of that now most of the time under kde/gnome when you delete a file, by default the file is put in the trash, unless you specify directly delete and you have a confirmation box. So the risk is minimal. --- Se puede morir por nada, pero ne se puede morir por nadie. MR
