    Hello,

    Can anyone tell me if it is possible to utilise the File Manager as the SU? For example, if I do a search for all files related to a certain program and I want to delete them all (files in various locations). Can I do this without going though command line and going to each location and deleting them, can I just delete them from the File Manager?

    Hope that question makes sense, basically, can I log in as SU for a short period of time, or just use File Manager as SU.

    Cheers

    Andy

    PS. I'm running Linpus with the stripped back xfcd desktop and a few other minor alterations mostly (http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2008/09/05 ... _one_tips/ and http://jorge.fbarr.net/2008/08/06/acer- ... nd-tricks/)

    Hi,
    open a terminal and enter
    Code:
    sudo thunar
    That should do it
    Enjoy

    Brilliant thank you, although slight slap of palm against forehead.
