as a new linux user, used Ubuntu 12.10, I tried several tweaks with the SMB shares. I followed this tutorial to mount permanently 4 SMB shares from my local NAS.

To resume, I :

  • edit /etc/fstab
  • added a line like :

    //servername/sharename /media/windowsshare cifs credentials=/home/ubuntuusername/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0 
    
  • created a credentials file for security reasons in my home folder (explained in the tutorial)

    ~/.smbcredentials
    

It work perfectly, they are automounted on each reboot, but when I logon, I all the time get 4 file explorer open with each share.

It is possible to avoid these file explorer window to be opened on every reboot ? I guess it's related to X or via a explicit deny or these graphical mount, but I don't have any clues on how to proceed

Thank you for your time,
