media icon and mounting partition



First of all as I an new to both Debian and this list (but not new to
Linux) - Hi

My problem is that when I added a partition (hdb2) on my hard drive to
the fstab file a new icon titled "media" appeared on my desktop. I am
sure this is a wonderful idea for removable hard drives it is not what
I want for a partition on permanently installed internal hard drive.

So how do I safely get rid of this icon?
(I've googeled this but with not luck).

My "fstab"
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hdb1 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/hdb9 /home ext3 defaults 0 2
/dev/hdb7 /opt ext3 defaults 0 2
/dev/hdb2 /music ext3 defaults 0 2
/dev/hdb4 /tmp ext3 defaults 0 2
/dev/hdb5 /usr ext3 defaults 0 2
/dev/hdb6 /var ext3 defaults 0 2
/dev/hdb8 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/hdc /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0
/dev/hdd /media/cdrom1 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0

A screen shot, if your not sure about the icon I'm talking about can

Sorry if this has been posted twice - I had a moment of confusion over
which e-mail address I used.
