Getting Nautilus Back

In using GNOME, Nautilus is the default file manager. So browsing a floder, one would expect to get Nautilus. In my last GNOME installation, everytime I browse a folder, its opened in pcmanfm (or in some cases Thunar) instead of Nautilus.

To restore Nautilus as the default:

1. Launch Nautilus
2. Right-click a random folder on your filesystem
3. Click "Properties"
4. Click "Open with.." tab
5. Choose "File Manager" (or "Open folder")
6. Click OK

You can use scripts too, among other ways.
