konqueror options

[sideshowbob]

I did some previous searching on these forums with no luck, so apologies if my question has already been asked & answered.

1. When I fire konqueror from the panel, it brings up the "conquer your desktop!" menu with 'home', 'network', 'applications' and so forth. I'd prefer it to just browse my home directory by default. How can I do that?

2. When it goes into file browsing mode (a la point #1), konqueror starts by default in 'icon' view. How can I change it to 'tree' view by default?

Thanks so much!

You can use an applet available by right clicking on your taskbar, and add applet, that will allow you to choose between the "File Management" profile and the "Web Browser" profile when you start Konqueror.

Rog131 & Detonate thank you so much!!

to future readers who might have the same problem:

the instructions from the link http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/inde...opic=3091404.0 fixed the 'tree default'

I added a new non-KDE application to the panel and pasted
kfmclient openProfile webbrowsing /home/<USERNAME>
into the 'executable' box.


I also tried Detonate's suggestion, and it works, although it adds an extra step, so I went with the above.


Thanks again to both of you!
