To make nautilus behave like it did before Spatial (ie Windows This
Computer / Explorer like):

Open nautilus --> Edit --> Prefs --> Behaviour --> Always open in
browser


To get the "old" (read Warty) spatial nautilus back, enter this on the
commandline:

gconftool-2 --set "/apps/nautilus/preferences/no_ubuntu_spatial" --type
"boolean" "true"
