The File Manager's default view consists of a shortcut pane on the left side, the main area on the right, and a pathbar above the main area.
The shortcut pane provides shortcuts to different folders on your system. The first shortcut will lead to your home directory, the directory you store all your personal data, and will therefore have the name of the current user. That directory will probably be empty. The second shortcut will take you to the root of your filesystem - you may want to explore it a bit, even though it will be confusing to you if you are new to Linux. Just click on the different folders and see what's inside. When you're done, return to your home directory by clicking on the top shortcut.
[Tip]
Add your own shortcuts by simply dragging folders to the shortcut pane. This will allow you to access important folders instantly!
The main area will always display the contents of the current folder. Double click on folders to enter them, and right click on files/folders to get a pop-up window offering you some choices of what to do with it. Select multiple files by dragging a rectangle over them with the mouse. Alternatively, select one file, hold down the Shift key, and increase / decrease the selection using the arrows.
The pathbar will always show you the path you took to get to the place you are currently at. You can click on any pathbar icon to change to the directory it represents. Note that right-clicking on pathbar icons will also bring up a pop-up window with some options.
