If I remember right, this was also used in Win 95 as well.
The only reason peeps were able to press the enter key to open files and shortcuts etc. was because JFW or WinEyes made it work that way.

Hi friends, I'm getting into mac os and exploring the programs bit by bit, and one thing above all else is really starting to irritate me. That is the behavior of the enter key in finder. It pops up a box you can use to rename the file or folder that has focus. If you want to just open the thing you have to use command O. What is the dang sense of that? How often do you want to rename safari and itoons for example, compaired with the number of times you just want it to open? Please, is there any way to change this aweful behavior? Thanks, Erik
