Teresa and Mike,
Thank you for your explanations. I think the likely answer to my
question is that I deliberately switched the finder into column view, as
I liked the navigation interface a bit better than the list view. OK, I
understand now ...

Hi, David,
The finder has three basic views: list view, column view, and icon browser.
List view and column view are the most accessible. The list view has a table
with fairly detailed information about each file. You can expand the folders
from the table or use option-down-arrow to go into the focused folder and
remain there while manipulating files. Column view is kind of like a tree view
in Windows. Icon view is, I think, a grid that shows icons for your folders and
files. So the table is for your list view, and the browser is either for column
view or icon view.
To get to these views on the fly, there are keyboard shortcuts: command-1 for
icon view, command-2 for listview, and command-3 for column view. You can
adjust a folders default view or the default view for all folders with
command-J.
I hope this helps.
Teresa

I won't waste any time as I have a question.
I've gotten very comfortable at using the finder. In the past, when I enter my
Mac HD drive I right arrow past the toolbar and I'm told there is a table.
When I interact with the table, I can then get to my various files and folders.
As of yesterday, everything still works but instead of being told that I'm in a table I'm told
that I'm in the browser" voiceover says "browser, 1 item selected." If I
interact with the browser, I am still able to access my folders. I'm just curious as to how
things changed from a table to a browser and what the differences actually are between the two.
