Thank you Andre, But . . . just before I complete the exercise my inode line reads as follows:
inode/directory=totem-xine.desktop;mplayer.desktop;firefox.desktop;vlc.desktop;gthumb.desktop;nautilus-folder-handler.desktop;nautilus-browser.desktop; Are you saying that I should replace all of that with: "nautilus-folder-handler.desktop;" Or do I insert that statement?
