is it possible to edit the "GO" menu in thunar 1.6.18

Hello,

is it possible to edit the "GO" menu in thunar 1.6.18

I have mounted my partitions in fstab so that in case of power outage the system checks them at startup but they no longer appear in the left table of thunar, I have to go to /mnt to access them.

fstab:
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
/dev/sda1 /boot ext3 defaults 1 1
/dev/sda2 / ext3 defaults 1 1
/dev/sda3 /home ext3 defaults 1 1
/dev/sda4 /mnt/DataHita2To ext3 defaults 1 1                               this one
/dev/sdb2 /mnt/Windows7Data ntfs defaults 1 1                         and this one

it's hdd inside the pc, I never unmounted them.

Sincerely,
bigbadaboum

Unfortunately, no.

but they no longer appear in the left table of thunar,

Instead of mounting them into /mnt, mount them into /media. On my system, this makes them show up in thunar's sidepane.

BTW: "Filesystem Hierarchy Standard" say:

/media Mount points for removable media such as CD-ROMs (appeared in FHS-2.3 in 2004).
/mnt   Temporarily mounted filesystems.

So although mount disk partition in fstab to /media/ is better that to /mnt, for fixed disk i suggest mount to /data/somedir ;-)

EDIT: oh, i miss you need automatically items in thunar left "table", so in /media is better :-) or in /data/somedir and manualy drag "somedir" to left "table"
