Thanks, happy to see it's working well for users! Your Arexx scripts may be useful to people fond of 68K integration, so I guess posting your scripts and asking for help to let 'em work correctly may give a spin to Regina development.

Hi,
I intended my statement to be interpreted more that this "feature" seems to be in the category of bells and whistles as opposed to needed functionality. So while I'm certain that an AROS developer could/would do it, I'd expect that there are more pressing concerns. BTW, the 68K AROS and amibridge in icAROS 1.5.0 is the bees' knees! Works like a charm. Looking forward to Regina (rexxmast) in future. I've got pipe scripts I'd like to post that allow commands to pass between AROS x86 and OS3 but they don't work without Arexx on both. Low priority. Thanks. Nathan

"Delete" it, and you'll immediately mess up your Icaros installation. Please don't give random hints to people that may follow them. The ONLY modes to get rid of the MyWorkspace icon are either deleting its entry in the right .backdrop file, or choosing the Icon -> Put Away option in the right clic menus, after selecting it. @Nathan Your argument is partially true: AmigaOS 3.1 (and not 3.0) had neither a 3D graphics subsystem, nor a TCP and a USB stack, however nothing prevented AROS to have them. If your idea about a volume selector @startup will be caught by some developer who has the will and the skill to do that, it may be added to the system.

Workbench preferences in Amiga OS3.9 let a user check which volumes to mount or hide upon startup. I don't think this was a feature in OS3.0. AROS aims to be OS3.0 compatible so it probably won't have that feature for quite a while if ever.

I renamed nstf.handler and it did the trick. Thanks again.

Thanks for the replies.
I removed MyWorkspace from the desktop. I'll keep Ram Disk: and Aros: on the desktop. I tried unmounting the ntsf partitions, but they show up on the desktop as ATA5P1:BUSY and ATA5P0: (System Reserved with no icon). Is there a way to unmount NTSF partitions and remove them from the desktop? Edit: Eventually I was able to unmount ATA5P1, but the system wont let me unmount system Reserved (ATA5P0:).
