Hi Kelvyn,
There are several ways actually, to start a SU (super user/root/ administrator) Konqueror session.
If you in KDE, just open up a terminal window and type su, then put in your root password. At this point you are 'root' for whatever you do in this terminal. Then type konqueror and hit enter. Since you started konqueror as root, you will be root for that session. There should also be a KDE menmu entry for 'File Manager - Super User Mode'. Be careful not to change any other permissions but that one, as otherwise you'll be creating security holes.
I am giving you GIU based permission instructions because I think it is easier for newbies to see something graphically. The other advice you have been given is how to change permissions from the command line - also a useful skill to have.
Hope this helps.
Cheers
Jason

"Konqueror as root" . I do believe I'm logged in as Kelvyn, so I'm currently in home/kelvyn.
How do I start Konqueror as root "please"
Yes "I'm a newbie"
