HowTo: Konqueror 'filemanagement' Desktop Icon

[stanz]

When un-installing dolphin- left me with no quick desktop access to my home dir,
and going threw the Kmenu for Konqueror--only to always have to choose 'Home Folder' for its only use-- got to be a pain--
I went searching for a tweak, for quicker access--found none--did what I needed to do (hours later) -- and here it is.
*As always: Not the only way to do this.*

From the panel {Kmenu}, go to 'Internet'-- right-click 'Konqueror'-->
select 'Add Item to Desktop'.

Right click--> new 'Konqueror' icon--> click 'Properties'--> select 'Application' tab.

Third input area down is 'Command:' which has the input:

kfmclient openProfile webbrowsing

This, I modified to:

kfmclient openProfile filemanagement %U

which gives me my quick-access to my home directory.

Next would be to have another open as root

There is an earier way. Right click on your panel and choose applet. Then scroll down and choose "quickfiles" or something to that extent (mine is in german). It comes with a folder icon.
Choose /home/username as the folder/partition you wish to use and you will have direct access to your /home files.

Open as root. Easy. Right click on the Icon. Click on properties. Click on Application. Click on Advanced Options. Check Run as different user block. Type root in the Username block. When it opens it will ask for your password.
