I have a question about Nautilus file manager which is the default file manager for GNOME in RH 7.2. In Nautilus, when I pull down the menu under File and then click on New View, I get a new window with my Home Directory. I don't want this. I want to get a new window which is a duplicate of the current directory.

For example, Midnight Commander, which was the default file manager for GNOME in RH 7.1, gave me a duplicate window of the current directory rather than of my home directory. How can I get the same behavior in Nautilus? Other than that, I prefer Nautilus to Midnight Commander.

Did you browse around through the preferences screens of Nautilus? there should be the option in there.
