Try go to the home-foder's parent directory and drag'n'drop it to the places-menu at the very left of the nautilus file browser.

places-menu at the very left of the nautilus file browser.

  I don't seem to be able to get to the parent directory;the only I have found to get to the home folder is to go to Place/computer/file system. the only thing that happens going to Place is an error message--Could not open location 'file:///home/ray'and no application is registered as handling this file.

Sound like you simply need to re-associate folders with nautilus.

Simple :)

  Ok- Thanks, however I have never done this before and have so far not found how to associate the home folder with Nautilus. Is this done in GUI or the Terminal ?
