I'm running Lubuntu with LXDE. When I double-click on a folder on the desktop, it does not open. The read/write settings are correct. Any idea what I could do?

I connect to Lubuntu using NoMachine's client under Windows 7. Under your NX client connection under the Desktop area, select "Custom", then click on settings. Just be sure the settings look like this:
Now connect and you're ready to go.
You can try to edit the .desktop file with Leafpad. If you can't open it clicking it with mouse second button, you can try it from terminal.
An example of a shortcut that launchs a shell script, viewed here: http://forum.lxde.org/viewtopic.php?t=31647&f=8

Try uninstalling Nautilus if you have it installed and see if then it would work. Nautilus tends to take over the desktop sometimes in Lubuntu and Xubuntu, and even after recovering from this, certain problems like that reported may linger for some time.
