Try running menudrake and tell it to save. That should bring back your menus after an

First, depending on your client machine, you may have

Your current sources directory is "/root/Desktop/". I would not recommend

Well, it depends.. If the process is owned by root and you don't have
root priviledges at the moment, you can't kill that process. So you would
login as root from console and then kill. Root has the POWER (but use it
carefully, root has the power to kill your whole system..).

I think what you're looking for is ROX.
Somebody asked me on #mandrake what file manager I use. You know I'm a

with the option of ROX.
It's pretty simple, but you can set up defaults to open up certain file
types,
