mount icon on desktop

[Davno]

At standard install of mdk 9.1.. i have 3 icons to show that the floppy, and the 2 cdrom are mounted, Can i just remove safely those icons without changing anything to the automount setting, since they just take space on the desktop and dont seem of any use...

Yup, you can remove the icons - they're just links to the mount directories.

for some reason, i can't move mine to the trash or delete (tried del and shift+del). i don't get an error or anything, it just won't do it. anyone know of another way? thnx in advance.

I forget exactly where the option is...somewhere in the kde control center there is a section for hardware icons to show on the desktop (such as hard drive partitions, mounted CDs, etc) and you should be able to just uncheck the box for whatever you don't want on your desktop.


Or just try deleting them with rm through a terminal.
