If you want to set the file manager so that it doesn’t open a new window for each folder, you can follow these steps:
- Double-click on the “Computer” icon on your desktop.
- Go to the “Edit” menu and choose “Preferences.”
- Click on the “Behavior” tab.
- Put a check in the box marked “Always open in browser windows.”
