    Force Kubuntu to use ntfs-3g to mount NTFS partitions

    When Kubuntu boots up, it auto-mounts my Windows partition. However, it does this using the normal "mount" command, so I don't get write access. I have ntfs-3g installed, but I don't like having to unmount and remount the partition from the command line to write to it. Is there a way to make Kubuntu automatically mount NTFS partitions with ntfs-3g?
