let's see if I can explain what I mean. say that I'm in my home directory and I open dropbox with command-down. then I open a folder inside there called Circle. I do whatever I want with the files in there and then I press command-up which takes me out of circle and puts me back in dropbox. another command-up and I'm back in my home directory. now, suppose I start cycling through my windows using command-accent. I would expect to have my home directory which I have just left, my external hard drive and usually there's one more showing me my drives. but what I find is a window for dropbox and one for circle as I cycle through. of course I can close them, but why should this be happening? I would expect it if I were just opening another window or even cycling to another window to do another task but I'm not. it probably is some setting somewhere but I don't know what to look for. e My Youtube Channel: "www.youtube.com/loriemccloud
