By default, the left-hand pane of Nautilus shows 'Places': a list containing your home folder, your desktop, 'the' filesystem (ie. /), as well as any mounted filesystems in /mnt and /media. This might include a flash drive, MP3 player, camera, etc.
At the top of this list, it says 'Places'. If you open the list (by clicking on the arrow next to 'Places', you can choose from one of: * Places - described above * Information - some details about the current location * Tree - THIS IS THE ONE YOU WANT * History - your navigation history within Nautilus * Notes - text stored an extended attribute associated with the file * Emblems - a list of the tiny icons that you can associate with each file Stephen ======================================================================= This email, including any attachments, is only for the intended addressee.
