Automounting vfat all users access [SOLVED]

I've read the mount man-page and searched around yet I still can't figure out how to automount (at boot time) a vfat filesystem in fstab so that ALL users have read, write and execture access on it.

Most of my stuff is stored there (dev/hdd1) and as wel all know working normally in root will lead to nothing good. Can anyone point me to the right place? I'd also like normal users to be able to read, write and execture files on my usb harddrives. They already show up under proc/partitions. Just mounting with the right options is a hassle.

Cheers

Add umask=0 to your Windows partition's line in fstab.
