When you’re operating on Ubuntu and want to visit Windows partitions,you can open up nautilus file-browser and just click the partition in left to view its files.However,it’s boring that a window pop up ask for password every time you click to mount a new partition.

This post shows how to disable this Authenticate window when click to view windows partition in file browser.
First,go to Applications->Accessories->terminal to open up command line and type:
gksudo gedit /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.devicekit.disks.policy
then,find out this line(should be line 34):
Save the file and done.
