lost gui access to home folder

[corky383]

I am not sure what I have done, but when i try accessing home folder, pictures, desktop etc from the Places menu, either nothing happens or VLC open up trying to play a text file on my desktop.
I am sure I changed some setting but can't remember what

Hehehe

Type these commands and print the output.

gconftool-2 --get /desktop/gnome/applications/main-menu/file-area/file_mgr_open_cmd

gconftool-2 --get /desktop/gnome/applications/component_viewer/exec

Man, where do you guys get those obscure commands from...

I tried them. For first it said no value set and for second it said 'nautilus %s'. What are you trying to know. The 'preferred applications' values?

[b2bwild]

Yes, The first one is default execution program for main menu "Places"
and The second one is default file manager.

THanks for the help, I was able to access the files/directories through the hard disk and then the properties menu. I had made vlc the default app for my home folder! when it was meant for the music folder underneath it
