hi,

I'm new in linux, not in computers. I used Nutilus, but till i made firs 
update of it, because after update it became unusable from my point of 
view. I had Nautilus with browser interface, and after update it lost 
all it's functionality. For example, to find my favorite song, i had to 
open 14 (!!!) nautilus windows <out of documents folder>/<out of my home 
dir>/<out of home>/mnt/windows/c/Documents and settings/<username>/my 
documents/my music/sorted/<style>/<artist>/<album>/<song>

My first impression was, that i did something wrong during update. I 
thought that i downgraded program, or installed another program.
Later I found that there are alot of shortcuts to open folders, close 
unused windws and etc. But why i should learn it? I newer in my life 
used such interface. So i started to look for option to return previous 
interface, but without success. I was totally confused.

Luckily, my friend (my linux guru :) ) showed how to change interface of 
nautilus using gconf-editor. Sorry, but it's not userfriendly way. 
Without of help of my friend i would never found how to fix this problem.

If it's not possible to leave previous configuration of nautilus during 
upgrade, Is it possible to make option in menu to switch to browser 
interface?

Thank you,
