setting nautilus as default file manager

[Phill Whiteside]

Hi Jonathan,

there are a couple of methods discussed on the FAQ area[1]. Choose the one
that bests suits your needs & feel free to reply back if you have
difficulties.

Accessibility and PCManFM are on the radar to be addressed.

Regards,

Phill.
