Konqueror with root privileges

[Guest ismanpa]

Hello,

Is there a way to use Konqueror with root priviliges? Try as I might, I have not seen such an icon.

Thank you!

right click on desktop,

select: run command

type: kdesu konqueror

Enter root password.

Thanks you ANON, from me.

Have added it to my notebook for future reference.

Cheers. John.

A further note for ANON.

 

That advice you gave has already saved me hours of fiddling around rebooting into root to move stuff or to delete stuff or to modify things. Sure you can do all those things by opening a console and doing it all from there and that is OK for all you people who are at ease with doing everything by means of the console. But for people like myself who are really only at ease using the gui, this is a godsend. I wish I had known about this simple method a long time ago. Now I hardly ever have to boot into root anymore.

 

Cheers. John.

I'd like to add my thanks to ANON. While I'm quite happy to work in the console, sometimes it becomes tedious to move whole directories or directory trees. In Konqueror that should be simple.

Thankyou both.

 

In previous versions of MDK there used to be a shortcut in the KDE menu for file manager "super user mode" (su) but for some reason it got removed.
