Hide Read-Only Folders
So the best, safest answer for anyone looking at this in the future, say, trying to make it less likely that your children that use the PC get curious enough to click enough things that it break (especially if they are using your administrator account), you can help to alleviate this somewhat by right clicking the links under "devices" and selecting to "Hide Section 'Devices'. That should help tidy up you UI some.

Hide Read-Only Folders
ok ok! I am just curious and want to learn. I wasn't disagreeing. I did find a way to clean up the directory options by simply hiding the root links in the side panel* under devices so that there is no direct way to access anything under the user's home directory without showing the whole path and going lower in the structure. The root of the question stemmed from trying to understand where the linux equivalent to the "program files" directory in windows is, especially when bin and opt aren't an option.

Hide Read-Only Folders
Right. I understand that these folders need elevated permissions to edit and I'm happy about that. I know enough about linux to understand permissions and how to change them, but I don't know enough about linux to know if a user account would still function without read permissions. I think it should, right? Would it cause problems if I removed read permissions for my user on those folders? I guess I could always create a new user and test it.
