How to stop Thunar being default file browser
I have found this question: How to stop Thunar being default file browser
I have installed Xfce because I don't like Gnome that much. I am not finding Thunar any good as it doesn't support SMB browsing and we have a selction of samba NAS shares in the office (so I really need it).
I want to make Nautilus my default file browser like it is under Gnome, but after running the script linked in the answer of that previous question (once to set Thunar as the default [which was already the case] then again to change to Nautilus), Thunar is still the default and still after a reboot.
What else do I need to change?
The other answer suggesting to run the following commands also hasn't made a difference;
gconftool-2 --set --type=string /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/file/command 'nautilus "%s"'
gconftool-2 --set --type=bool /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/file/enabled true
gconftool-2 --set --type=bool /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/file/need-terminal false
I'm rather stumped. I have also tried to ensure "nautilus" is configred by hand, in the correct files, have I missed any?

If anyone can point out what's going on here I would be very grateful. I can minimise this window, double click a desktop folder, and Thunar pops up, its constantly taunting me!
