\marginnote{What is a Directory? Or a Folder? A directory is a division of space in a file system that you can use to organize files. A folder is the name given to a directory in a Graphical User Interface (\acronym{GUI}) environment like \application{Nautilus}.} To navigate between folders, use the bookmarks in the left pane of the \application{Nautilus} file manager. You can also retrace your steps by clicking on the name of a folder in the path bar. Double-clicking on a visible folder will cause you to navigate to it.

A file, in its simplest form, is data. Data can represent a text document, database information, or data that will be used to produce music or video. To open a file, you can either double-click on its icon or right-click the icon and select \button{Open With}.

To create a new folder from within \application{Nautilus}, click \menu{File \then Create Folder}. Then, name the folder that appears by replacing the default ``Untitled Folder'' with your desired label (\eg, ``Personal Finances''). You can also create a new folder by pressing \keystroke{Ctrl+Shift+N}, or by right-clicking in the file browser window and selecting \button{Create Folder} from the popup menu (this action will also work on the desktop).

\marginnote{You can easily view hidden files by clicking \menu{View \then Show Hidden Files} or by pressing \keystroke{Ctrl+H}. Hiding files with a dot (.) is \emph{not} a security measure\dash it simply provides a way to keep folders organized and tidy.} If you wish to hide certain folders or files, place a dot (.) in front of the name (\eg, ``.Personal Finances''). In some cases it is impossible to hide files and folders without prefixing them with a dot. In \application{Nautilus}, these folders can be hidden by creating a .hidden file. This is accomplished by opening the file and typing the name of the file or folder you wish to hide. Make sure that each file or folder is on a separate line. When you open \application{Nautilus}, the folder will no longer be visible.
