I am using Linux Mint 17.3. When I mount any drive partition, a shortcut is created on my desktop with the drive name. How can I stop this shortcut creation process?
Shortcut created when mount any drive
linux mint;mount
I don't know which desktop environment you are using, but assuming it's Cinnamon, this is how:Open your Menu from the panel and click on System SettingsScroll down and click on the Desktop preference iconUncheck Mounted Volumes under the option of what to display on the desktopThat will disable the display of that drive on your desktop, but it will not unmount the drive or modify it.
