I have installed Ubuntu alongside with Windows 10 and no, when I run Files program, I see all NTFS drives listed at LHS panel of a window:

enter image description here

When I click drive, it is mounted under /media/, but until I click, it doesn't mounted. It's irrational. I can't rely on any path on NTFS drive since it doesn't exist until I click it in separate application. Also, some drives I don't wan't to be listed at all, like drive C.

So, how to completely disable this feature of Files program and mound NTFS drives permanently?

    Configure them in /etc/fstab. See https://askubuntu.com/questions/46588/how-to-automount-ntfs-partitions – Byte Commander Aug 12 '17 at 15:34
  • @ByteCommander will drives disappear from Files then? – Dims Aug 12 '17 at 15:39
  • Yes, only "removable" or "manually mountable" devices show up in Nautilus' sidebar. Automatically mounted drives don't. But I think even if you just configure it in /etc/fstab with the noauto option to not mount it automatically at boot time, it will still not show up. – Byte Commander Aug 12 '17 at 15:59
  • The last question: how to remove drive C from both fstab and nautilus? – Dims Aug 12 '17 at 16:06

    Just configuring in fstab as noauto should be enough. It won't get ever mounted that way unless you explicitly command it to do so. And IIRC it should not show up as mountable device in Nautilus. See also https://askubuntu.com/q/164412/367990 – Byte Commander Aug 12 '17 at 16:49
  • Actually, in some system settings apps you can just set checkpoints, at least, to either always mount a specific drive, or to mount all removable devices. At the very least it's possible on systemsettings of KDE. – Hi-Angel Aug 12 '17 at 17:04
