proc is a pseudo filesystem ,that means that it is not actually in the harddisk but resides in the ram while you are using the operating system.It contains information about processes,devices,irqs,etc which are important part of the OS.Some files in proc are writeble with the echo command while some are not.But if you don't know about those I suggest that you don't change them.
As for nautilius it should read the proc directory as it just
appears as a seperate directory.In linux everything appers as a file/directory (devices,partitions etc).
