Mounting shares on the Desktop

Contributed by: Oliver Thylmann
This tip is valid for: Both BeOS and Haiku

If you want a shared volume accessible via WON to appear mounted on your Desktop, edit the file ~/config/settings/Tracker/TrackerSettings and change the line:

MountSharedVolumesOntoDesktop off

to

MountSharedVolumesOntoDesktop on

Everything you mount with ezmount or cifsmount will now have an icon on your Desktop for easy access.
