Network Drives on the desktop

[gregory gulrajani]

Hello All,

Every time i create a new 'network drive' in Nautilus the drive is 
mirrored on the desktop. I am unable to remove the entries with out 
deleting the actual network drive.

example: http://gulrajani.org/ss1.png

The only configuration i have done to the default Nautilus configuration 
is to disable spatial mode.

My question is - can i configure Nautilus to not display the network 
drives on the desktop?

thanks in advanced
