Your default desktop includes a folder showing you the contents of your
/home directory (see Figure 2-3). You can specify different ways to
view the contents of your /home and other
directories on your system. In general, however, the left pane of the
file manager shows you the directory tree while the right pane shows you
the contents of that directory.
You can start the file manager by double-clicking on a folder on your
desktop or from the main menu, under .
