How can I get Windows XP to show an icon on the Desktop for each mounted drive, as Linux does?


Question by Richard H: How can I get Windows XP to show an icon on the Desktop for each mounted drive, as Linux does?

I am currently running a dual-boot Ubuntu/Windows XP system, and like the way that Ubuntu shows the mounted drives or loaded CDs on the desktop, updating them when drives or discs are removed. Is there any way to emulate this behaviour on Windows, either natively or using other (preferably free) software?


Essentially, the only thing on my Windows XP Desktop is the My Computer icon anyway, so this would save me a step every time I wanted to browse files.
