Does anyone know how to make nautilus as a file manager in Xubuntu 12.04?

Question

This might look like a duplicate of other questions, but it isn't.

I'd like to know how to set nautilus as the file manager....avoiding it to change anything else but the file management.

Thanks

Answer 1

yes I also prefer nautilus over thunar. use this command this will install nautilus without the junk.

sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends nautilus

Then go to settings manager, preferred applications and replace thunar with nautilus
