# Other Desktop Menus

There are a few desktop menus you may use in GNOME. These menus are accessed by making a right-button mouse click on any clean space on the desktop. This will bring up a pop-up menu which contains a few items:

- New Window - This launches a new Nautilus File Manager window displaying your Home directory.

- New Folder - This creates a new folder on your desktop into which you can place files: a convenient way to clean up your desktop.

- New Terminal - This launches a new GNOME Terminal window that will automatically navigate to the `/home/[username]` directory.

- Clean Up by Name - This automatically arranges your desktop icons.

- Disks - This accesses the submenu to mount removable drives

- Change Desktop Background - This opens the GNOME Control-center at the Background Capplet to allow you to reconfigure the background of your desktop.
