Default file manager

Hi All! I'm using GNOME Desktop Environment. I was interested in
alternative file managers and tried to install Thunar file manager. I
don't know how but it became default file manager and when opening from
menu Places any location starts Thunar instead of Nautilus. When trying
to set up default application for the folder the field Open Folder could
not be selected and default is selected Open with Thunar. I removed
Thunar package but no result. This field is still present. How to remove
Thunar and make Nautilus open all Folders and Places?

Reinstalling/reconfiguring nautilus may work:
# aptitude reinstall nautilus
or
# dpkg-reconfigure nautilus

Have you tried restarting X?

aptitude purge thunar && aptitude reinstall nautilus

If that doesn't do the trick, try finding a line like this:
x-directory/.*=Thunar-folder-handler.desktop;nautilus-folder-handler.desktop;

in the file /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache and replace it with
something like this:
x-directory/.*=nautilus-folder-handler.desktop;

I remember this working back when etch was testing, not sure now.

I think if we are going to edit the folder opening handler manually,
then surely it would be where the rest of the file handler entries
would be. Where is that? Would there be some sort of freedesktop
standard for it or something?

Are you restarting your Gnome session after you make changes? Such
changes aren't instant, you have to run the file manager again. Easiest
way is to log out and log back in.

Very big thanks. It works!

One more question. File /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache is
sytemwide.
And where are the settings for user gnome mime types?

In '.local/share/mime/packages', apparently. Take a look at this site:
