Problem: Using Gnome, when I click on "Places", the usual drop-down menu appears; but clicking on "Home" or any of the other options in the top portion of the menu yields, not Nautilus, but "Wine Internet Explorer". What can I do to fix this?

Background: I just performed a clean install of Maverick, after a failed attempt to upgrade to 10.10 via the Update Manager. This is on an IBM Thinkpad T42, on which Ubuntu is the only operating system, all traces of MS Windows--including "Internet Explorer"--having been eliminated. In Ubuntu, the root folder, "/", and the home folder, "/home", are on separate partitions, of approximately 10GB and 40GB, respectively. Previously, 9.04, 9.10, and 10.04 have worked just fine.

Try right clicking on any folder, select "Open with Other Application" and select "File Browser". Also tick the bottom "Remember this ..."
