Failed to execute child process “net” when entering Nautilus

Is Ubuntu a distro with Nautilus included?
3 answers
I installed Ubuntu alongside Windows 10 on my computer (by the way I hate Windows with a passion and I'm so happy I found Linux. Never going back to Windows.)
From the beginning nautilus never worked. Being new at this I thought that it was the way Linux worked. I was trying to open folders on my desktop and nothing happened. The only way to open folders was to open by "files".
How can I fix this issue? I tried reinstalling nautilus but I always get this error message
Nautilus-Share-Message: 11:23:25.561: Called "net usershare info" but it failed:
Failed to execute child process “net” (No such file or directory)

The only way to open folders was to open by "files"
means that you can open nautilus.
The following screenshot shows that when you look for nau[tilus] in Activities, you will find Files.

That means i canot go on the desktop and double click on a folder and open it from there

@Sebastien, I understand. Those are two (maybe different) problems. You can startnautilusalias Files, but there are problems with it or with the desktop configuration. -- 1. Which version of Ubuntu are you running? 2. How was it installed? 3. Are you running Wayland or Xorg? 4. How doesnautiluswork, when you run a live session booted from your install DVD disk or USB pendrive, 'Try Ubuntu'?
