Thread: Problem changing file manager defaults

-

hello, have been trying change default file manager, , have installed , run nautilus on xubuntu system (latest version, installed). have been told , did far has not produced results expected.

expect should able change on system place links installed default dvd. have observed 3 types of these:
1. there non-removable links file system , home system maintains on desktop.
2. there removeable (so think) menu launcher (for home, documents, downloads, media types, etc) placed on lower desktop panel dvd installer.
3. there place links have created on desktop , panel launchers. edit menu creating these same creating application launchers, , different edit menu place link type 2.

through settings manager->preferred applications window able select nautilus on thunar. has been saved, has been effective type 2. links of type 1 cannot removed, therefore annoy me when impulsively hit them , find don't have search feature (nautilus among relative few of gtk 2 toolkit do, what's that) when need it.

i'm not concerned type 3 launchers, system gives me control each of them in command box, hope can resolve question on whether type 1 launchers can made point different file manager. i'm sure there's editable code file , other things somewhere, it?

appreciate explanation of how type 2 launchers set up, , why edit menu different.

thanks.

the "type 1" icons come desktop (not file manager). need to:

right-click desktop, select "desktop settings", click "icons" tab

let uncheck icons otherwise unremovable.

search, it's suggested use accessories/catfish.
