(this is a newby question) Hi to all linux-fans out there, somehow I managed to break a part of my kde configuration: since a couple of days I am no longer able to access the drives:/-URL which is linked with the "Arbeitsplatz"-Icon (I don't know how this Icon is named in english versions - desktop?). If I try to open my "Arbeitsplatz" a shell-Window pops up and disappears instantly. Thereafter a Konqueror-window opens with the error message "Beim Laden von drives:/ ist folgender Fehler aufgetreten: Die Übermittlung von Daten aus drives ist leider nicht möglich." (~ following error occured while accessing drives:/ : transmission of data from drives:/ was not possible) It has to do with my personal kde-configuration as the same drives:/-folder of a secondary account of mine (which I never reconfigured after installation) is working fine. So I don't believe that I messed up some global system settings. I tried to figure things out by comparing (diff) the .kde/share/config contents of both accounts, but nothing caught my eye. As I am (very!) new to linux I am not familiar with the KIO_things of life... and I wasn't able yet to make sense out of the information I got from google. As I did some lengthly customizing of my kde (ok... most of it had to do with colors, fonts and the like...) I dislike the thought of throwing it all away. So I would appreciate any suggestion. many thanks and viele Grüße Bernd Johannes
