For hiding the auto mounted drives on Fedora 8 desktop

Recently when i installed Fedora core 8 on my desktop machine, all the mounted drives (windows drives) are getting displayed on the desktop which made it look ugly.

To hide the auto mounted drives on desktop we can use the following command:

gconftool-2 --set /apps/nautilus/desktop/volumes_visible --type bool false

We can also enable/disable the auto mount feature of removable drives at
System -> Preferences -> Hardware -> Removable Drives and Media
