afair you can change this settings in nautilus itself or with
$ gconf-editor
/apps/nautilus/preferences/window_always_new

afaik it is a good choice to search in  /apps  and  /desktop  for your 
prefered settings

a short time ago i have read in this list that you can right-click on  
eg.  computer:///  "open in browser"
oops, :-[

or
$  nautilus --browser
