There is a real easy way to enable Nautilus to run as root using the
sudo command using a Launcher on your desktop. Here is how to do it:
1.) Go to an open space on your desktop and RIGHT MOUSE CLICK
2.) Left click on "Create Launcher"
3.) Entire the following information:
Name: Nautilus (run as root)
Generic Name: Nautilus
Comment: Launches Nautilus as root using the sudo command
Command: sudo /usr/bin/nautilus
Type: Application
Icon: what ever you want to use
4.) Check the "Run in terminal" option, otherwise it will time out
waiting for a password. This option will open a terminal, ask for a
password, then once entered open Nautilus as root. Once you close
Nautilus the terminal window closes automatically.
**NOTE: be careful with the files and permissions when using Nautilus as
root! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! **
