I really like to see all mounted partitions should be under one directory and then create that direcotry/link on the desktop instead of each mounted partition with the hard drive icon on the desktop. This could be very un-organized desktop and looks very ugly if one has more than 1 hard drive, which is not so un-common nowadays. For example, create a link with description such as "Access other partitions", then when users click on it, it will launch either nautilus or kfm or whatever_your_favorite_file_manager_here . > On top of that windows partitions should be writable ( FAT32 only of > course ) by normal users ( so umask=0 should be set by default for > security level < high ).

But, will there be any risk, such as, users could accidently delete stuff from their winbloze partition? -Larry
