I have noticed on some desktop screenshots people have "My Computer". I have created a link to the /mnt/ Folder but they appear just as folders, i cannot change the icons, In mandrake there is a place called - "My Devices" in there are a few hdd's and icons for each - how can i put in links to my other mounted partitions as when the esisting ones are clicked they just seem to be links to the physical drives and no information on them. Please Help, sorry if im hard to understand, im knackered.

 

Cheers

i'm at work right now so i'm going from memory. but, if you're using KDE, right click the desktop->new->mount point (or something similar) browse to the mount point you want to make a shortcut for, name it, choose an icon, apply. all partitons/removable devices on your computer are stored in the /mnt directory. so, for instance, your windows mount point would be something like........ /mnt/windows (or /mnt/hdc, or whatever it is named). if you're using Gnome (or another DE) i'm sure there is a similar method.
