Folders won't open
 
you need to provide some more information.

Which distro (version of Linux, Windows) are you using?
Are you logged in as a normal user?
Did it work before and suddenly stop working?

Sorry, can't really help otherwise.

are you logged on with a user who has permission to open that folder?

If you try opening that folder, what is the message that you get? (post it here so we can see)

::Linux:: 04-19-2011 12:55 AM

There's no msg. or something it just stopped working.

This would be better:

Code:

ls -l
Some distros might have "ll" as an alias for this, but many don't.
