Customizing the File Manager
There are many ways to customize the File Manager. In case you do not like the way the icons are displayed, choose View->View as Detailed List to have the contents of the current directory displayed as a list.
You can have the File Manager display a location bar instead of the pathbar by selecting View->Location Selector->Toolbar Style.
In case you prefer a treeview in the left pane, choose View->Side Pane->Tree.
