Hide Windows partition icons on Desktop in Xfce [SOLVED]

Just came back to Arch, and having a little trouble. I'm sure the answer is out there, just having a hard time finding it:

In xfce4 with gvfs and thunar-volman, icons for any removable media show up on the Desktop so that I can easily mount/unmount. This would be great, but the partition for Windows (I'm dual-booting) also shows. How can I hide certain partitions from now showing up on the deskop?

Thanks!

As suggested, I created the file /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules

and in it, I put the lines:

KERNEL=="sda1", ENV{UDISKS_PRESENTATION_HIDE}="1"
KERNEL=="sda2", ENV{UDISKS_PRESENTATION_HIDE}="1"

To hide my first and second partitions on /dev/sda

Re: Hide Windows partition icons on Desktop in Xfce [SOLVED]

Hello,

I have the same problem - Dual booting with Arch and Windows and I see my Windows partitions showing up.
I tried adding a rule in /etc/udev/rules.d but the icons are still there (even after a system restart). Anything else that I can do ?

[shrinath@shrinath-laptop ~]$ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules 
KERNEL=="sda4", ENV{UDISKS_PRESENTATION_HIDE}="1"
KERNEL=="sda7", ENV{UDISKS_PRESENTATION_HIDE}="1"
[shrinath@shrinath-laptop ~]$

Thanks !

Please open your own thread for help instead of bumping a seven year old solved one.
