Select your folder name in the lower-left corner of the window to see
the file system hierarchy above the current folder. GNOME remembers whatever size, location,
and other setting you had for the folder the last time you closed it and returns it to that state the
next time you open it.
To see more controls, right-click a folder and select Browse Folder to open it. Icons on the toolbar
of the Nautilus window let you move forward and back among the directories and Web sites you
visit. To move up the directory structure, click the up arrow. If you prefer to type the path to the
folder you want, instead of clicking icons, you can toggle between button- and text-based location
bars (click the paper and pencil icon next to the location buttons to change the view).
To refresh the view of the folder, click the Reload button. The Home button takes you to your
home page, and the Computer button lets you see the same type of information you would see
from a My Computer icon on a Windows system (CD drive, floppy drive, hard disk file systems,
and network folders).
Icons in Nautilus often indicate the type of data that a particular file contains. The contents or file
extension of each file can determine which application is used to work with the file, or you can
right-click an icon to open the file it represents with a particular application or viewer.
