    [SOLVED] After installing Virtual box, 'all' folder in plasma desktop open Virtual Box.

    After installing Virtual box, 'all' folder in plasma desktop
    open Virtual Box.

    When I examine folder link properties, it looks ok, and
    no refeence to pointing to Virtual Box.

    Is this a bug in plasma ?

    Thank.

    When you click on "All" folder on the desktop it opens up VB instead of your /home/youracct folder?

    IF so, right mouse on it and choose the delete option. Then open Dolphin on your home account (or any other directory) can drag and drop it to the desktop.

      No, I think he is saying that clicking on all [re: any] folders on his desktop result in VB being launched, and not having the folder 'open' as one would expect.
      Windows no longer obstructs my view.

        I think you're right.
        Anyway, he could drag and drop a home folder from inside dolphin out to his desktop and then left click on it to see if it also opens VirtualBox. If it does then he has serious issues with his plasma-desktop. I sure he does not want to purge plasma-desktop and re-install it. So, looking at the files in his Desktop folder to see what their "URL" or EXEC property is linked to?

          Image already added

          The associations got screwed up through some plasma bug.
          Corrected it manually by going through associations manualy, and removing Virtualbox association.

          What delayed me was it not showing in a 'right-click' properties inspection.

          Not sure how this can happen. Must be some anomoly ? !

          Anyway 'solved'. And thanks for replies.
