[newbie] Desktop Icons - CD-RW and DVD-ROM
I have two icons on my desktop for CD-RW (/dev/hdc) and DVD-ROM (/dev/hdd). How can I get rid of them. If I right click on them there is no delete option. I'm trying to get back to the good old days when I mounted and unmounted removeable devices when I wanted to instead of having magicdev or supermount muck it up and refuse to allow me to unmount or eject. Also both of these drives are listed twice in X-CD-Roast once as ATA and once as ATAPI, they also appear twice in kwikdisk. Anyone know why this is?

have u tried configuring from the Control Center in KDE? - Original Message - From: David [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Wed, 24 Dec 2003 19:20:20 +1300 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] Desktop Icons Hi all, i'm new to the list so if this has been addressed before please so so. I've looked in the archives but could not find anything there on the subject. That does not mean its not there if it is its just I didn't find it. My problem is a minor but annoying one and is that on startup the desktop icons all gather on the left of the screen in any old order they feel like.I have to snap them to grid each time to see to use them. This happened under 9.1 and now 9.2, in 9.0, my first experience with Linux they sat where they were told to. Any info on how to get them to appear on desktop as I want on startup appreciated. Both myself and my Guru are stumped on how to fix this problem. TIA David -- *** This email originates from a 100% Mandrake Linux OS computer.

I think that if you set that up to restore session, then arrange your icons where you want them and log out, it should do what you want.

[newbie] Desktop icons (kde)
Exists there somewhere a collection of misc. desktop icons for KDE? I'm an OS/2 user slowly moving into the Mandrake world, and I've started trying to implement the functionality of my OS/2 desktop in my mdk boxen (8.2 and 9.1). One feature I use are desktop, and/or folder-included objects, to dial, hangup, kill, and restart the InJoy dialer over on my OS/2 gateway machine (via rsh.) The on-board choice of icons in MDK\KDE is thin and un-inspiring. Barring no public collection of icons, is there an icon conversion tool to convert the 3,000+ OS/2 icons I've gathered over the years?

Open Nautilus, Preferences/Windows and Desktop: it should be there. If you reset your preferences, maybe you need to restart Nautilus.

I finally made a blank (as in see thru)icon and set the icon's text to the same color as the desktop, for those 3. Now they're just invisible, but they're still damn there.
