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 (oneric-updates)
