I want Nemo (File Manager) to open the Downloads directory by default instead of my Home directory. Let's change it now
Step 1. Right-click on the menu button (bottom left of your desktop).
Step 2. Left Click on "Configure" from the popup.
Step 3. Left Click on the "Menu" tab.
Step 4. Left Click on "Open the menu editor".
Step 5. Left Click on "Accessories", then Left Click on "Files"
Step 6. Left Click on "Properties" and type "Downloads" to the end of the 'Command' section.
NOTE: There is a SPACE separating "nemo %U" and "Downloads". The "Command" section should read:
nemo %U Downloads
If you want Nemo to default to a different directory just replace "Downloads" with the directory name you want to see when Nemo launches.
