Hi Bitlord,

now I understand what you mean: Obvioulsly you mean the File menu
belonging to nautilus appearing at the top of the screen if some
nautilus window is opened. By using the preferences submenu it's
indedeed possible to switch permanently to "don't show hidden files".

Solves my problem! Thank you.
