    How to get back the desktop folder plasmoid?

    Hi all:

    When I first installed KUBUNTU, there was the Desktop folder that allowed me to see the various document subdirectories. I removed it (I clicked on the X button if I remember) and now I'd like to bring it back and add not only the document subdirectoris but the programs I use alot.

    Any tips?

    Thanks!

      Right-click the desktop and select "Add widgets". Choose the "Folderview" widget and drag it onto the desktop.

            Vinny:

            Thanks! So I can do this for both the documents subdirectory and the software like Firefox, and Open office?

            Thanks again!
