Question #76237 on nautilus in ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+question/76237

Tom proposed the following answer:
I think you have installed Ubuntu inside Windows using the Wubi install.

A much better way to install Ubuntu is to put the Ubuntu cd in your cd/dvd-drive and switch the machine off and on again, this is a 'reboot'. Hopefully this should get you to a menu where the top option is something like "Try Ubuntu without making changes to the machine" and choosing this option should get you to a working desktop comparable with your Windows one, we call this a "LiveCd session". If you have trouble getting that far then this guide might help

If the LiveCd session works and firefox can find your internet connection so that you can surf to here then install Ubuntu using this guide
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot

If this isn't what you've already done then you might want to migrate the Wubi install onto it's own proper partition by using this guide's, part 8 of section 8

I hope this helps!
Good luck and regards from
Tom :)
