FC2 - Another Newbie Question

[Brad Smith]

Unless I'm misunderstanding you, a more-or-less complete list of the

Tools, System Settings and Preferences sections of the hat menu since
most are installed by default (afaik). Nautilus' "start-here:" target
provides access to the same tools in a "control-panel" style interface.
