This is a among the first things I do after installing Ubuntu . And since
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS has just released, there is no better time for a tutorial on how to display home/computer icons in Ubuntu desktop permanently. You can use applications like
ubuntu-tweak to bring similar funtionality. But here, I am only tinkering with the existing settings to achieve the same instead of installing any new applications.
- Right Click on the top left corner of your desktop(notice the small ubuntu icon) as shown in the screenshot below and select Edit Menus option.
- Tick the Configuration Editor from the System Tools menu.
- Now close the above window and then Goto Applications - System Tools - Configuration Editor
- Now select the apps dropdown menu.
- Goto apps - nautilus - desktop and tick the two options, computer_icon_visible and home_icon_visible ie.
