Was minding my own business sipping coffee going through folders with nothing definite in mind.. I stumbled upon the /etc/gnome-vfs-2.0/modules folder... 2 files of interest default-modules.conf.with-menu-editing default-modules.conf Renamed default-modules.conf to default-modules.conf.back Renamed default-modules.conf.with-menu-editing default-modules.conf logged out then back in .. Voila .. menu editing seem to work now with Nautilus.. i did change some Gnome menu items. Comments ? Ric
