    how can I decypt home directory?

    hi,
    I just installed xubuntu on a USB disk, and when I was making the partitions, I made my home directory encrypted.
    Everything works fine, except when I go to enter my home folder, it is always asking me for my admin password which is a nuisance.

    How can I decrypt the home folder or can I delete it and make another that is not encrypted.
    I don't mind keeping the encrypted folder, I just want a working folder in the home directory that
    I can get into without having to enter a password with nautilus or thunar to get into.

    Thanks for any info

    I'm not sure but I think it'll be ok if you delete it and remake it. Can't think of anything that would go wrong.

    do I just delete ~/home including everything under it? ( in this case, only my encrypted folder ),
    and then can I make another ~/home directory and them make my working folder in ~/home?
