Guys is there an easy way to change default program on double click for nautilus ?

It looks way to complicated on ubuntu.

The way I have solved opening old .url file is to do this

By using gnome-actions plus this script I wrote

cat open-ie-shortcut
#!/bin/sh

test -e "$1" || exit 0
cat "$1" | grep URL | cut -d'=' -f2 | xargs mozilla-firefox &

Its not pretty and really not quite right as you have to right click on the .url file then run this script

What do u guys think or should I just dump nautilus for something else ?
