Question #14462 on nautilus in ubuntu changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+question/14462
Wrwrwr proposed the following answer: Press Alt+F2 together -- "Run Application" dialogue should open. Type "gksu nautilus" and press Enter then type your password and confirm -- a file manager should open with full access. Note: Manually changing ownership, permissions or directory structure of system folders (anything not under /home) is most probably a bad idea -- unless you know what you're doing of course. Knowing how to use the console/terminal commands is very convenient if you really need to do some administration stuff (like finding all files/directories/nodes of a given kind and changing their ownership/permissions for some security or other reason etc. -- nearly anything can be done using a single line).
