I have to use LXDE as my DE because of the age of my computer/hardware, and I like it a lot, but I also like using Nautilus as my File Manager (it appears to have more options) for basic file browsing.

If I can I would like to change my default file manager from pcmanfm to Nautilus. I know this is possible, but the things I have seen, nothing seems to work the way I want it to.

Thanks!

Look Manual Method section of Ubuntu Documentation. Probably you should only edit ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list file. Add two lines:

inode/directory=nautilus-folder-handler.desktop
x-directory/normal=nautilus-folder-handler.desktop

If there already is line as

inode/directory=pcmanfm.desktop

just remove it.
