enable unity help

Asked by Brian Huff

I have disabled unity and now my desktop screen only has my folders on it. I cannot figure out how to open up anything? I do not know how to access the Compiz config so that I can enable it. Can anyone help with what I am sure is a simple answer.

I am using Ubuntu 11.04 and just downloaded the compiz config. I tried to enable the cubes but that messed up my screen size. I then disabled unity and restarted the computer. The desktop is will only show my Photo folders on it that I had placed there. I do not have anything else on the desktop and do not know how to access them. Can anyone help walk me through just setting it back to the default settings?

Log off and click your username, then at the bottom select Gnome Classic, then log in
