== Changing File Manager Behavior ==
The final ''Behavior'' page of the Nautilus Preferences dialog controls how the items in the file manager behave. The following settings are available for configuration:
* '''Behavior''' - Defines whether a single or double click is required to open a selected item in the file manager and whether hidden or backup files are visible.
* '''Trash''' - Specifies whether the user should be prompted for confirmation before a deletion is performed or trash is removed from the trash folder.
== Configuring Media Settings ==
The final tab in the ''File Manager Preferences'' dialog controls how the desktop behaves when a new media item or device is detected on the system. For example, when a DVD is placed into a DVD drive, should the desktop do nothing, ask the user for direction or start up a DVD playing application so that the user can view the movie. As illustrated in the following figure, settings are available for just about every conceivable media type, with individual behavior settings for each one:
