While we're on this topic, one of the best things you can do is to install a different desktop on the Pi. This one works for me, has a much better file manager and looks professional. Installation is simple:

Next step is to install an intuitive, drag-and-drop archive handler:

sudo apt-get install nemo-fileroller

Last, but not least, a lightweight version of Firefox:

sudo apt-get install iceweasel

Just these three steps make a huge difference in the look, feel, and functionality of Raspbian and the Pi. The new window manager seems more responsive than the one which comes with Raspbian, and is certainly better looking.
