Note That checkbox only changes the open in new tab menu item to open in new window. It does not cause folders to automatically open in a new window. I believe it is possible to assign a keyboard shortcut to it in system preferences though.
In Lion, the box would cause folders to open in new windows, but it works differently in Yosemite. I don’t know what version of OS X started this, but probably the one that introduced tabs.

I've never paid much attention to how folders open--I use cmd-n if I need a new window--but it seems like you'd want windows and not tabs. > On Mar 27, 2015, at 10:41 AM, Stacey Robinson <[email protected] > <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: > > Alex > Do I check or uncheck this? > > Blessings, > Stacey Robinson and GEB dog Kirk. > > mailto:[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > >> On Mar 27, 2015, at 9:33 AM, Alex Hall <[email protected] >> <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: >> >> In Finder, press command-comma to open Preferences.
