Create a shortcut to launch Nautilus as root

1. Right-click an empty space on the desktop and select Create Launcher then configure the following items:
   
   1. Type: Application
   2. Name: Whatever name you want (should be unique, like RootNautilus or something)
   3. Command: gksudo nautilus
   4. Comment: Whatever comment you want (optional)
   5. Additionally, you could select a different icon for your shortcut by clicking the default spring-board icon in the top left corner. A sizable collection of icons is located at /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable.
2. Click OK.
3. Double-click your new launcher and you should be prompted to enter the password for the root account. Once this is done, root-level Nautilus file browser will open. Take extra caution when using root-level access to anything.
