Where is "My Computer" in Ubuntu 14.04?

  • 772

In Ubuntu 12.10, in Nautilus, there were the following entries in the sidebar:

  • "File system" - Ubuntu installation drive
  • "Computer" - the equivalent of "My computer" in Windows

Now, in Ubuntu 14.04, in Nautilus, the entries have changed to:

  • No "File System" entry
  • "Computer" - Ubuntu installation drive

I remember giving some computer:// command in terminal, to open equivalent of "My Computer" on Windows.

How do I open the equivalent of "My Computer" on Windows in Nautilus in Ubuntu 14.04?

14.04
