How to stop mounted partitions from displaying in "Video Files" - joelbaby - 2016-05-28

Hi,

Setting up Kodi for some very basic users. When you go to "Video->Files" it shows all the mounted partitions "/dev/sda1", etc...
I tried 'right click', then 'safely remove' - but on next bootup they come up again.

How do I prevent all these partitions from displaying in Videos->Files menu without unmounting them?

Thanks!

Openelec 6.0.3 (Kodi 15) on an Intel platform.

When I go to Video, Files it shows:
SDA2-ATA-.....
SDA5-ATA-.....
SYSTEM_RESERVED
and some others

For a very basic user (picture old ladies who work in a museum) I'd like to get rid of those options.
It's for a very cool project I will be posting my hardware build on the forum soon. http://i.imgur.com/TfaCwwE.jpg

Use case will be:

- User turns on device, Kodi comes up.
- User puts in USB stick
- User reads files from USB.

If there is a better way to navigate to straight to the USB, that would be great.

Thanks!
