users' 'Root' filemanager menu item
Instructions on how to add a special menu item to call
the Filemanager with a root password login dialog box
1. Decide where you are going to put the new menu item. Probably as good a place as any is an additional line in the L > Settings menu...
Here above we see the standard throw-out menu that follows clicking on Settings - and we have made the decision to add the new menu item at the bottom
2. Click on Control Panel and up comes the standard dialogue on which we pick
Look & Feel... and then Menu Editor... and we next see this...
3. from which we quickly select the expand "+" against both Programs and Settings...
4. Now start two seperate operations;
First the locating of the FileManager entry on the Programs - Utilities submenu so that we may copy across the executable command info into the new area...
5. Then the creation of the new menu item by right clicking on Settings...
and selecting New Submenu...
then the pasting of this information into it,
and the changing of the user information near the bottom here...
6. You will notice that the icon button to the right of Work Path needs pressing to create an application icon.
When we do this, we get a listing of icons (here is the top of the selection window...)
7. Scroll down until you see the Filemanager icon (I love Everaldo's icons!)...
8. Click on it and we are in business...
9. As you can see here, there is a new item at the bottom of the Settings menu... and after a refresh, the icon appears in the listing on the left (not shown above)
10. and when you click it, up pops a password prompt box that shows you are indeed opening the Filemanager as root!...
