Prevent nautilus from opening a new window

It often becomes irritating on some gnome installs that nautilus will open a new window for every folder. My desktop quickly becomes cluttered.

The following post describes how to disable this "feature"

For the impatient, the following commands will probably do the trick for you.


gconftool-2 --type bool --set /apps/nautilus/preferences/always_use_browser true

gconftool-2 --type bool --set /apps/nautilus/preferences/always_use_location_entry true

so true, linux reliability and Ubuntu.

Our computers really can be reliable, i promise! Thanks Ubuntu!

And PS, when XP just starts to suck a bit less, we switch to vista.

XP was the suck we can live with.
