Hey mom :)

I might have to look for duplicates as this may have been reported already, but I'm reassigning it to nautilus for the moment.

Here's how to reproduce :
 - Right click on a folder, select "Open with" and select "other application"
 - Choose some application, for this bug it's totem but for me it's usually Baobab
 - Leave the "Remember this application for "folder" files" checked (it is by default)
 - Click on "open"
 - Now every time you click on some folder in the "Places" menu, it will open with that application.

To fix this, open a nautilus window and repeat the "Open with" procedure, choosing either "File manager" or "Open folder"

Nevertheless I consider this to be a valid bug, in my opinion it should even be considered for the Hundred Papercuts.

summary: - when movie player is intalled it launches automatically when I try to
- open any file in "places"
+ Remember this application for folder files prevents from opening
+ nautilus from "places" menu
