I've installed the latest Scientific Linux 6. But when I opened the included Nautilus file manager, there is no file tree sidebar and no toolbar, nor status bar. How do I activate them?

For the sidepane, you can either hit F9 or go to View and select sidepane.
Similarly, for the toolbar and status bars, select them from the View menu.
- Hitting F9 didn't work, and I don't see those options in my View menu! What's wrong? BTW, I am using Nautilus version 2.28.4.hpy– hpy2011-05-30 03:53:34 +00:00Commented May 30, 2011 at 3:53

There's another option:
If Nautilus (your file manager) is just a box (spatial view) go to "edit", then select "preferences" and in "behaviour" choose "Always open in browser windows". Then close the window and open it again.
- And if that option doesn't show up then see my answer here unix.stackexchange.com/questions/434155/…Jared K– Jared K2018-03-28 20:12:34 +00:00Commented Mar 28, 2018 at 20:12
