Have tried un-installing archive manager an d find this stops problem but on re-installation the problem has re-manifested itself though this was not immediate.

Thank you for your bug report. It seems you associated folders with file-roller (e.g. by right-clicking a folder and chosing "Open with"), unfortunately the "Remember this setting" option is activated by default (bug #662194).
To fix the issue, try:
1. Press Alt+F2 and enter "nautilus" to start the file manager
2. Right click on any folder and chose "Open with Other Application…"
3. Chose "File Browser"

Does this work for you?

Hi Marcel,

I am having further problems with the dreaded Windows at the
present time. I will find time to check out your solution tomorrow and
get back to you.

Thanks a lot
