Red Hat 7.3 desktops does not automount my Windows partitions, how do I created a desktop icon, I have managed to mount the Windows drive with the mount -t vfat command so I can access the files now but cant seem to create a desktop shortcut, in older versions you could right click the desktop created new hard drive select /mnt/hda/windows/ and Bingo a shortcut but now there is no entry for that, any help would be appreciated

Thanks

Here is what I put in my /etc/fstab
/dev/hda1 /mnt/winc vfat user,exec,dev,suid,rw,noauto,uid=500 0 0 That gives my first user (500, that's me) permission to mount and unmount the drive and when it is mounted it will be owned by me.

I added a launcher to my panel for gui
usermount tool and when I mount it, Nautilus draws it on the desktop.

Take the no off of the noauto if you want it automounted on boot.
