Sparky "testing" XFCE, Samba mounted folders aren't show on desktop

Hello,

Not newbie on Sparky Linux, i use it since a while with Sparky Linux 6 to begun.
First, thank you for this good version of XFCE, who's really easy to customize for every people. It's not the case on all distributions some time XFCE haven't all methods to customize it, that's annoying.

Recently i bought a new mini PC, an AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS, so  my precedent, that i kept, is an ACEPC with less memory, space disk on nvme etc. But i can compare the OS it's the same only stable version.
My problem is a bit weird, because the new machine have a Wifi 6 Realteck 8852BE integrated i'd needed to use the "testing" iso to install, with the stable the kernel haven't the module to use this chipset so no Wifi. Anyway that's work but any samba shared folders are mounted by the fstab without problem but they never appear on the desktop ?
On the old mini PC they are showed, always. Maybe it's only on the "testing" version ?
Any idea what i did not well ?
Thanks for the help.

Have a nice day all

Hello all,

Well i found a solution i created 3 links about the Samba folders shared and mounted on particular folders in system on the desktop.
Since i post the question it seems OK, working good, but :
IMPORTANT :
If ever a shared folder didn't mount correctly for any reason we haven't information about the icon, because it's not a dynamic link created by the OS. like usually with movable disk or USB key etc.

I don't put that like Solved in title, i think there is a problem about that i had never seen it on the stable with the older mini PC. Even now if i turn On the old mini Pc it's working efficiently like that my shared folders appear on the desktop and they are greyed if i do "sudo umount -a" in terminal.

Thanks in advance for any help, reply.
Have nice day
