    Computer command

    Hi everyone, I just installed Linux for the first time and then stupidly changed the command of the
    computer in the computer properties. now I can't get access to the computer directory and
    I need the computer's command again. I recall it started with Nautilus and I can't remember
    the following letters/numbers.

    Can anyone here tel me what to write under the computer properties so I can get back access
    to the computer folder?

    My guess is that you're looking for the /proc folder. This is where all the Linux kernel's knowledge about your hardware is displayed. Nautilus is just the name of the file manager that comes with the gnome desktop.

    You've just learned your first lesson: don't rename or delete anything that you didn't create yourself. Unlike Windows, which assumes that you're an idiot and therefore keeps you corralled in My Documents, Linux encourages you to explore your system; it's up to you to do so intelligently.
