konqueror as root while in user session?


While working in my user account, I would like to go su and look at another user's /home/user directory, which I am locked out of when I am user. I can do su with terminal, but can I go su with a konqueror window?

tnx

In the KDE menu in System->More Applications you'll see an entry for:
File Manager - Super User Mode.

This is konqueror with root permissions.

Another way to do it is to write in a user's terminal:
Code:
kdesu konqueror

Perhaps this mini how-to will help: Using the Konqueror File Manager With Root Privileges
