Jim,
Thank you much for the simple idea. I opened the File Browser (which
apparently is part of or is Nautilus) window for my home directory,
selected the Up function to switch to /home, right-clicked on my
home folder, selected Open with other application, then selected File
Browser. Once I did that, all items in my Places menu began working
again. Amazing.
I still don't know where Nautilus stores the file associations, how
file associations for the "file:" protocol got corrupted on my
computer, or why this Open with other application created a permanent
fix. But your solution worked and fixed the problem at hand -- at
least for the "file:" protocol.
Many thanks.

I'm glad the simple fix worked out for you. Hopefully this problem was
only a one of a kind problem. I really don't know for sure where the
information is stored and hopefully never need to know.
Jim
