==Creating symbolic links to folders==
#As explained earlier, the folder structure created on our computer is 'hierarchical', meaning we can only access sub folders while in a folder. However, we may want to access a folder which is a sub folder of another folder which is different. In such a case, we can use 'symbolic link' to access that folder. For eg lets say we have a folder structure created for parts of speech - noun, verb, adjective etc. In this case the folder 'gerund' can come only under 'noun' or 'verb'. However if we want to access it in both folders, we can create it in one of them, say 'noun' folder. We can create a symbolic link (click on 'gerund' folder, right click and select 'Make Link'. Ubuntu will create a file called 'Link to gerund'. Copy this file 'Link to gerund' to the 'verb' folder. When you click on ''Link to gerund' in 'verb' folder it will open the 'gerund' folder.
#This feature can be used to create 'hyper-links' to folders within the hierarchical folder structure
