Hi Iain, I don't think you need to replace the icon on the desktop. Just use the configuration editor to change the state for the following key: /apps/nautilus/preferences/always_use_browser Or instead, use the following command on a terminal prompt (the whole command is on one line without any line breaks): gconftool-2 --type boolean -s /apps/nautilus/preferences/always_use_browser true That should get back the old 'non-spatial' look (that you prefer) with the existing desktop icon. cheers, Siddharth.
