Well, that's exactly what "I" have been doing to mine, mikshaw..

but I was trying to keep it as unaltered ( or restorable ?)
as possible, and simply add the one line..

Both work, pick your poison..

thanks adssse
amazingly, it works fine.

can you explain to me what does the &>/dev/null & directive does?

works like a charm

Glad to hear that it works.

The '&>/dev/null' section effectively takes any output from the program and throws it away by sending it to /dev/null. The last '&' at the end tells this program to run in the background.

I only want to remove the mounting windows of the tools bar. Is it possible?

Quickest and easiest way is to remove the "enhance" line in $HOME/.xinitrc. This will prevent the dockapps AND icons from loading.
If you want to keep the icons, replace this line with "xtdesk &>/dev/null &".
If you want to keep the other dockapps, add a command for each.

EDIT: I see now this is all covered in this very thread. Beyond that, what more are you looking for? The mounting is done with mount.app. The other docakapps are listed in /usr/bin/enhance.
