What's a file manager?

Its a GUI that linux users use to look more like and work more like
the windows they hate.


Well, I've never understood why you folks, already running a file
manager, then proceed to start another copy.

I'm on the phone to the Helpdesk, they say go to the Start menu and
choose FileManager, then navigate to that drive and open it.

What a palaver.

Me, I just double-click the icon for that volume that's already on the
Desktop. Simples.


I have it on the task bar so I just need a single click.


I have it ion the desktop so a single click. Or a diouble click.
Depending oin how I want to set it up.

Of course the point of having TWO file managers running with different
widows for each, is to look into two directory trees side by side, so
you can copy between them easily for example by dragging and dropping..
