This option provides you with an extra layer of security. Your home folder is where your personal files are stored. By selecting this option, Ubuntu will automatically enable encryption on your home folder, meaning that files and folders must be \gls{decrypted} using your password before they can be accessed. Therefore if someone had physical access to your hard drive (for example, if your computer was stolen and the hard drive removed), they would not be able to see your files without knowing your password. \warning{If you choose this option, be careful not to enable automatic login at a later date. It will cause complications with your encrypted home folder, and will potentially lock you out of important files.}

When you open a program in Ubuntu (such as a web browser or a text editor\dash see \chaplink{ch:default-applications} for more information on using applications)\dash a \emph{window} will appear on your desktop. If you have used another operating system before, such as Microsoft Windows or Mac \acronym{OS X}, you are probably familiar with the concept of a ``window''\dash the box that appears on your screen when you start a program. In Ubuntu, the top part of a window (the \emph{titlebar}) will have the title of the window in the center, and three buttons in the top left corner. From left to right, these buttons \emph{close}, \emph{minimize}, and \emph{maximize} the window. Additionally, you can right-click anywhere on the titlebar for a list of other window management options.

\noindent To \emph{close} a window, click on the ``$\times$'' in the upper left corner of the window\dash this will be the first button on the left-hand side. Immediately to the right of this is a downward-pointing arrow that is used to \emph{minimize} the window to the bottom panel of your desktop. Once minimized the window will no longer be visible, but its corresponding button in the bottom panel will remain, indicating the program is still running in the background. Clicking this button will \emph{restore} the window to its original position. Finally, the right-most button of this group will \gls{maximize} the window, making it fill the entire screen. Clicking this button again will return the window to its original size.

To move a window around the workspace, place the mouse pointer over the window's titlebar, then click and drag the window while continuing to hold down the left mouse button. \marginnote{You can also move a window by holding the \keystroke{Alt+F7} keys and dragging the window} To resize a window, place the pointer on an edge or corner of the window so that it turns into a larger arrow, the resize icon. You can then click and drag to resize the window.

There are at least three ways in Ubuntu to switch between open windows in a workspace. You can find the window on the bottom panel taskbar and click to bring it up on the screen, or you can use \keystroke{Alt+Tab} to select the window you wish to work on. Hold down the \keystroke{Alt} key, and keep pressing the \keystroke{Tab} button until the window you're looking for appears in the popup. If the window is visible on your screen, you can click any portion of it to raises it above all other windows.

\marginnote[-5\baselineskip]{You may find that there are applications in the \menu{Applications} menu that you don't use frequently, or just don't want to be displayed on the menu. To hide those applications (without deleting the actual applications), click on \menu{System \then Preferences \then Main Menu}. Find the applications in the right panel that you want to hide from the menu, and deselect them in the ``Show'' column.} There are three menu headers in the top panel. Let's take a look at these in more detail, starting with the \menu{Applications} menu.

The \menu{Accessories} sub-menu has many applications that are suited for productivity, including \application{Calculator} and \application{Tomboy Notes}.
