OK Ester, that is bringing up a menu when I hit return on the folder now. OK, one of the options says open in finder, but still it's bringing up the sub folders within the folder in a contextual menu as sub menus. Can I not get it where it literally by default when I hit return on the folder in the doc, it opens in a full fledged Finder window instead of a contextual menu?
