Changing what drives appear on the XFCE desktop

I created a (very) kickass linux install on a 16GB Super Talent Pico-C flash drive that I keep on my keychain!  I have a couple issues I'm working through to make it perfect, and one of them is what drives appear on the desktop.  XFCE usually puts removable media as desktop icons so they can be easily (un)mounted, but in this case, I would like everything except for the partitions on my flash drive to appear.  This includes whatever is present in the machine, other flash drives plugged in, etc.  ATM it just shows the two partitions that exist on my flash drive at any point in time.  What do I need to configure for this to happen?

Any idea on this one?

If you guys know that this isn't a capability, I can file a bug report to request it.

Right click the desktop -> Desktop Settings -> "Icons" tab -> uncheck "Removable devices". Or from the menu -> Settings -> Desktop -> "Icons" tab.

Re: Changing what drives appear on the XFCE desktop

I think the OP wants to selectively hide some drives, while showing all others.

My mistake, sorry OP. What was I reading?
