Does anyone know why Gnome, or Nautilus, insists on creating a 'Documents' folder in my user 'home' folder? Better, does anyone know how to kill it? The problem, admittedly minor, is that I want a 'Documents' folder on my Desktop. If I move the Gnome-created Documents folder, the next time I login it's back plus I now have two Documents folders. If I just delete it, the next time I log in, it's back. The FPN for the problem folder is: /home/dhenson/Documents The FPN for the one I want is: /home/dhenson/Desktop/Documents One workaround is to create a symlink but I shouldn't have to do that. Any info will be appreciated. The /etc/skel drives the creation of the Documents folder, not GNOME. /etc/skel is a template used for creating user accounts with the command `useradd -m "username"`. Change your preferences there. Sounded good in theory but it didn't work. I deleted the directory 'Documents' from /etc/skel, deleted the directory 'Documents' from /home/dhenson, and logged off/on. It came back.
Expected. The folders have in GNOME have nothing to do with skel functionality, skel only relates to useradd and related tools. GNOME will automatically recreate your Documents folder. -- Adam Tauno Williams, Network & Systems Administrator Consultant - http://www.whitemiceconsulting.com Developer - http://www.opengroupware.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
