Thank you for your bug report, not sure we are wanting to support weird
scenarios though, nautilus is the default file browser and Ubuntu is set
to use it, you are free to uninstall it if you have other preferences
though

Title:
"Home Folder" launcher should launch default file manager
Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
The an "app" called "Home Folder" appears if one enters "home" into
Unity's search (Home lens and App lenses, and no "home" folder is
suggested) choosing this opens the user's home directory in Nautilus
even if the user has set another file manager as their default file
manager.
This seems to occur because the "Exec" line in:
"/usr/share/applications/nautilus-home.desktop" (a file owned by the
Nautilus package) is set to "nautilus ." rather than "xdg-open .", and
because "/usr/share/applications/nautilus-home.desktop" is the "app"
entry with the name "Home Folder"
I suspect changing the "Exec" line to "Exec=xdg-open ." should give
the expected behavior regardless of the user's choice of default file
manager (I tested and found this to work with my current default:
Marlin)
This seems to be a somewhat known issue as Ubuntu Community Documentation
exists that suggests a work around of removing/editing the
"nautilus-home.desktop" file from "/usr/share/applications/" when changing
default file managers, as per:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DefaultFileManager
Similar changes/issues maybe be in "nautilus-browser.desktop",
"nautilus-computer.desktop" and "nautilus.desktop" (though I haven't
needed to edit these files personally yet)
tested with Ubuntu 11.10 (Arch:AMD64), Nautilus version: 1:3.2.1-0ubuntu3.1
