Finder preferences: How do I just DBL click folder to get a new window

I don't want to have to push cmd and click folders Every time I want a folder to open in a new window. I want a New Window EVERY time I dbl click a folder, as I have done for as long as I can remember in Mac system. I like multiple open windows, and don't like being Forced into having to take extra steps every time just to do this task I do Hundreds of times a day.
Thanks for any help, which these Help screens were Not.
Open a folder in a new tab or window
When you open a folder in a Finder window, the folder’s contents usually replace the current contents of the window. If you prefer, you can open a folder in a new tab or window.
To open a specific folder, press the Command (⌘) key while you double-click the folder.The folder opens in a new tab or window, depending on your Finder preferences. To change the preference, choose Finder > Preferences, click General, then select or deselect “⌘-double-click opens a folder in a new tab.” (Deselect the option if you prefer a new window.)
To open a new Finder window without opening a specific folder, choose File > New Finder Window or press Command (⌘)–N.
If a Finder window’s toolbar and sidebar are hidden, then double-clicking a folder in the window (without pressing the Command key) opens the folder in a new window.

⌘-double-click opens a folder in a new tab
If this is selected, double-clicking a folder while holding down the Command (⌘) key opens a new tab. If this is deselected, Command (⌘)-double-click opens a new window.

Helgason: Thank you so much for this solution. I have been using it since March. But I just upgraded to Yosemite. And as you have noted on your website, it breaks the functionality of typing Command-Shift-A to go to Applications and such. Now that Yosemite has officially been released, are you going to create an update?
Also, an update that returns the green button to being maximize instead of full screen (without having to hold down Option) would also be welcome!

    Under Preferences > Content > checkmark "Block pop-up windows"
    Under Preferences > Tabs > checkmark "Open new windows in a tab instead"
    That may not solve all your problems, but it should make it a lot less annoying.

  • Using firefox 14.0.1. Loading a link using right-click and "Open Link In New Window", results in new window opening but address bar does not show URL..

    Using firefox 14.0.1. Loading a link using right-click and "Open Link In New Window", results in new window opening but address bar does not show URL. However, if I right click on a link and select "Open Link In New Tab", the Tab shows URL in address bar. So it's working when it's a New Tab but not a New Window.

    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

  • Tab click unexpectedly pops out to new window

    When I click on a tab, every so often (maybe 2-3 times a session), it will unexpectedly pop out to a new window. This occurrence is not like the purposeful downward click to immediately open a new window with the tab, but it is very delayed. In fact when this happens, my mouse pointer instantly jumps to the bottom right of the screen and if I don't move the mouse, the window doesn't open. But, after I move my mouse for a second or two, the tab pops out to the new window. Seems really strange, and can't find an answer anywhere.

    Hello,
    please install this add-on and see if it remedies the problem:

  • Why does clicking a link open a new window with a spam site on it?

    Happens randomly I will click a link that I want open on new tab it opens but a random site will open in a new window. These sites that open are spam sites that I do not want. I have uninstalled deleted firefox and reinstalled it nothing is fixing this issue. My other computer has the same problem. Does not happen all the time its just random sometime i dont even have to click a link and a new window will open with dating sites poker sites just crap I did not want opened.

    Recomend getting adblock for firefox.
    if you still get unrelated links you should consider scanning for Malware on you computer (this could be an installed program or an extension). I would recommend Malwarebytes as it is somewhat free to use.

  • I dropped my iphone 5 in the toilet about 3 hours ago, I've had it in a bag of rice since. I tried turning it on, but nothing. How long should I wait before i go get a new phone?

    I dropped my iphone 5 in the toilet about 3 hours ago, I've had it in a bag of rice since. I tried turning it on, but nothing. How long should I wait before i go get a new phone?

    If water drained out of your phone when you pulled it out of the toilet it is most likelyh dead.  Stop trying to turn it on or plugging it in.  You really need to put it in a bag of rice for 3-4 days and just leave it alone.  It will take that long to get it totally dry to see if it is going to come back to life.
    Good luck, but since you tried to turn it on, and plugged it in while it was probably still wet inside I would not count on it surviving.

  • Why when I click on a link a new window opens instead of a tab, this is new

    When I click on a link a new window opens instead of a new tab. This is new. I've gone into tools and checked my settings and nothing changes it. It annoys me.

    This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.<br>
    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • When I key in control-n, how can I get a new window instead of a new tab?

    I would like to get a new window instead of a new tab when I key control-n or when I click on a link. Can I do this?

    '''Hey mickeyten'''
    1 way to do this is that Goto Options > Tabs > Here Uncheck this Option: '''Open a new window in a new tab instead'''.
    This will open a new window each time time for every New Link or New Tab you open.
    Hope this helps you alot.
    Thanks,

  • If you lose your ipod touch and you have a warranty how much would you have to pay to get a new one?

    if you lose your ipod touch and you have a warranty how much would you have to pay to get a new one?

    Full price. Warranty covers only manufacturing defects, not you losing the iPod.
    Perhaps homeowners insurance of your credit card plan, if you used a credit card to purchase the original iPod, might cover all or part of the cost.
    Regards.
