dubbrich Posted January 24, 2005 Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 I just installed Mandrake 10.5 last week and it runs great! But, I have a slight problem accessing my windows partitions with icons on my desktop. they worked before but stopped working yesterday. I have all my mp3's on a specified partition in windows and I usually use the shortcut that was placed on the desktop by default. since everything on that partition is music, I decided to make the default run program Amarok, instead of Konqueror. Now I cant set it back. I believe it affected the 3 other windows partitions that I have also. I can still access all the files on those partitons by opening Konqueror and browsing to the directory that the partitions are mounted to, but I would prefer to get my icons working again.

dubbrich Posted January 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 oh by the way, I get an error stating "cannot open specified device" when I try to open it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dyslexic Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 (edited) You should be able to right-sclick on your desktop, and create a new "Link to location." For the URL, enter something like "/mnt/windows". I'm not sure why right-clicking on the icons to change the association back didn't work, but I'll assume you tried that without success. Setting mp3s to open with Amarok shouldn't be a problem, just do it for an individual mp3, and not the folder.

dubbrich Posted January 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 Yeah, I wasn't able to re-associate the default opening program. But I'll try your suggestion when I get home. thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
