Strange file association - Can't open directory

hi,
always when I want to open a directory in the gnome main menu, gnome wants to open it with the "Archive Manager". I think I've done this by updating the file associations in krusader (which, by the way, can't save file associations? ). Now, I can't find where to change the file association to nautilus again!?
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

cheers daniel

Re: Strange file association - Can't open directory

you should find it under properties > open with > open folder after right clicking on a folder

thank you for your help, but nothing happend
i've noticed this problem only occurs if the directory i want to open is in the gnome menu bar (i can drag an drop it on the desktop and everything works perfect)

Re: Strange file association - Can't open directory

actually this is a better/proper solution
`sudo update-desktop-database`
