I don't understand what the difference between them would be: Mount removeable drives when hot-plugged and Mount removable media when inserted Thanks for asking -- you just solved two annoying problems for me :o) An internal CD/DVD player is not a removable drive, but it does use removable media. A USB stick is a removable drive but does not use removable media. A number of gnome apps are far more configurable than their settings menu implies. To access some hidden settings you need to use the gconf-editor utility, found in Applications::System tools::Configuration Editor, or just type gconf-editor from a command prompt. Navigate to apps::nautilus::preferences and look for several settings relating to media, and experiment with those.

Hello, Walt: I had "Browse removable media when inserted" checked. Sure enough, when unchecked, a nautilus window opens. I also notice that two options are checked. I don't understand what the difference between them would be: Mount removeable drives when hot-plugged and Mount removable media when inserted Thank you for the advice.

If I plug three USB drives in, six windows open. I can't answer your question, sorry, but I've noticed something here that may or may not be related. In the gnome System::Preferences::Removable Drives and Media dialog, I have the "Browse removable media when inserted" box *not* checked, but I get a nautilus window anyway. So, I don't have double nautili, but I still have one more than I asked for. Does that checkbox do anything on your system?
