-<title>Introduction</title>
-
-<para>&tde; includes a versatile and powerful file manager called
-&konqueror; that allows you to do everything you want with the files
-stored on your computer, your network, and even the Internet. There
-are too many features of &konqueror; to describe here, so we will just
-take an overview. For more details about what &konqueror; can
-do, refer to the <ulink url="help:/konqueror">&konqueror; Handbook</ulink>.</para>

-<title>Folders</title>
-
-<para>When you first open &konqueror; in file management mode, you can
-see two panes: on the right is the folder view; on the left is the
-sidebar. The folder view contains icons for
-each item inside the current folder. These items can be
-folders or files. Many file types can be <quote>previewed</quote>
-without opening a new application to edit them in.<indexterm><primary>Previews</primary></indexterm> To preview a file,
-hold the mouse cursor over the name of the file for about a second: a
-popup window will appear, showing the contents of the file and other some
-useful information, like file's size and which user owns the file.</para>
-
-<para>You can open any item by clicking on the icon for the
-file. Folders will be opened in the same window; files will either be
-opened in the appropriate program, or the file manager will ask you
-what program to use. For instance, if do not have a word-processor set up to
-open &Microsoft; Word documents, the file manager will
-ask you what to do.</para>
-
-<para>You can go back to the last-opened folder by clicking on the
-<guiicon>Back</guiicon><!--screenie --> button or go up one folder by clicking
-the <guiicon>Up</guiicon><!--screenie --> button.</para>

-
-<listitem>
-<para>As &konqueror; (the file manager) also serves as a very powerful

-behavior by right clicking on the <guilabel>History</guilabel> item and
-selecting <guimenu>Sort by</guimenu>. Left click on an item (&eg;
-<guilabel>www.kde.org</guilabel>) and &konqueror; will show you the documents you have visited. Left

-<para>Right clicking on a history item, like <menuchoice><guimenu>www.kde.org</guimenu><guimenuitem>index.html</guimenuitem>

-To select only one icon hold down the &Ctrl; key and click on the icon
-you want to select. If you want to select more than one icon, hold
-down &Ctrl; while you click on each of the items you want to select.
-Once one or more icons are selected you can do what you want with
-them. If you want to move or copy items, select them and then drag them
-(with the left mouse button down) to the desired location. When

-
-<para>Many other actions can be applied to the selected items by
-right-clicking on one of the selected items, and choosing the action
-from the menu which appears. (The exact contents of this menu depend on the

-<title>Links and Shortcuts</title>

-<para>
-As already mentioned above you can link files or folders anywhere. It means
-that the linked folder will appear and behave just like the original in
-another location without consuming additional space on your harddrive.
-So if you, for example, have a number of documents, and only a few are used
-regularly, you can easily group them in a folder and create links in it.

-<para>Before a file is deleted in the &tde; file manager it will be
-moved to the <filename>Trash</filename> folder to give you the
-possibility of getting it back if you deleted it by accident. The
-trash bin will show all deleted items. You can select the one to be
-recovered and move it to its original place as described in <xref
-linkend="filemanager-icons" />. If you right click on the trash bin and select
-<guimenuitem>Empty trash bin</guimenuitem> the files in it will be
