How to add Nautilus to LXDE menu

[shahgols]

I am copy/pasting the below from another thread, because the other thread was about something else.

Add nautilus to your menu -->
Open lxdecc, click on the System tab, click on the File Manager Superuser Mode icon, give root password and navigate to /usr/share/applications. Look for nautilus' .desktop file. Open it and look for a line that says, OnlyShowIn=Gnome;. It may or may not be there. If it is, add LXDE; to the end of the line. Thus > OnlyShowIn=Gnome;LXDE; < is how it will appear. Note that the word Only may not be there; it may be ShowIn=.
If the line isn't in the file, simply add ShowIn=LXDE; at the end of the file. Click File > Save and close the editor. Close the file manager.

Hi Neal, thanks for your help.  I had done this last night using vi (as root), but had not put a semicolon after LXDE, so I just did that and I still don't see Nautilus.  Also, when I go to /usr/share/applications in PCMan (kicked off as root), I don't see a nautilus.desktop or nautilus.anything.  But using the console, they are all there.  I am guessing that somehow LXDE is not aware that at least nautilus.desktop is to be shown in LXDE yet?  Any ideas?  Thanks.

P.S.  Where am I supposed to look for Nautilus?  Will it be under File Tools?

In case you find nautilus.desktop, you can copy it to /home/*username*/desktop in order to have it on your desktop.

Thx buddy, what I really want is to have it in the quick launch area.  If I can find it in the menu, then it's easy to add it to the quick launch.  I usually keep my desktop clean, because I don't want to minimize all open windows just to kick off an application.  It's a pet peeve of mine.

shahgols,
If there was no nautilus.desktop in /usr/share/applications, you should reinstall nautilus. Delete the .desktop file you created first.

You used vi? For so simple a task, I would use leafpad.

Hi Neal,

What I meant to say is that the nautilus.desktop is there when I go through the console.  But it's not there when I go through PCMan.  Not sure if this is a hint or what?  I'll uninstall and reinstall Nautilus and let you know what happens.  Thx.

OK, I figured it out.  There is a config variable named....drum roll please....NoDisplay!  It was set to true.  Once I removed that, Nautilus shows up under File Tools by the name of "File Manager".  So I changed the value for the Name variable to Nautilus and now it's named Nautilus.  Thanks for your help!  Here's my nautilus.desktop file by the way:

Please excuse me for busting in, shagols,  but I have a similar problem with nautilus; where exactly is the config/desktop/?? file containing this config variable you mentioned? Cheers
