This did resolve the problem: Re: Open Folder Command
Pick any folder -> r. click -> Open With - Other Application, scroll down and choose 'open folder'

Otherwise
Code:

gedit ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list

Find the line inode/directory= and either delete the whole line or add to front
Code:

nautilus-folder-handler.desktop;

Thanks
