"No application is registered as handling this file" error

[Kwanzee]

Hey guys,

I just installed F10 and finally got things going and now after a system update I cannot open any of my folders.
I get a...
"Could not open location 'file:///home/Kwanzee/Documents'"
No application is registered as handling this file

I have no clue what to do.
Please help!

i take it you are using Gnome and can get into your HOME folder but not the others.
try this hit "< Ctrl> + h " both buttons ,this will show the hidden files.
rename " .gnome2 " to .gnome2.orig " and reboot . see if that fixes it .

Hey john VV

I can't open any of my folders listed under my Places. That same error still comes up.
I can run other programs on my computer. So i'm not sure if I can use the Ctrl H somewhere else.
Any other suggestions?

[JohnVV]

can you get to your home folder from the icon on the gnome desktop
or form Applications / System Tools / File Browser
or form the terminal

cd ~
ls -la
mv .gnome2 .gnome2.orig

i dont have the file browser under my system tools.
i ran the script in the terminal. no success.
now when i go to Places / Search for Files then search for a song, it give me an error that Nautilus file manager not running.
How do i start it? Will that solve my problem?

[JohnVV]

well if File browser is not in system tools then for some reason you uninstalled nautilus [b] this is assuming you are running Gnome
and not KDE
from the terminal run

su 
yum install nautilus*

or
yum reinstall nautilus*

for more options run
yum search nautilus

cheers!

hey johnVV.

I cant even right click my desktop to select anything. i used to have shortcut folders on my desktop when i initially installed F10 but when this Gnome problem happened, the shortcut are gone and i cant right click the desktop.
