How to get Dash to open folders?

~~When I search for a folder in my home directory using the Dash, the folder shows up. However, when I click on the folder, nothing happens.~~

~~How can I get nautilus to launch when I click on the folder?~~

I had a double nautilus.desktop in ~/.local/share/applications/ which is what was breaking things! Once I deleted it, the problem went away. Therefore, this question is not a good question.

I think all you need to do is reset the association to open folders with Nautilus.

Open Nautilus, browse to any folder, and right click.

Choose Open with Other Application

Choose Files. Files is the display name of /usr/share/applications/nautilus-folder-handler.desktop
