Hello Lorie, et al. Well, this has definitely been an interesting thread, to say the least. (smile).
However, I would like to say the following: 1. A heartfelt thanks to you, Lorie, for even bringing this matter to the fore. 2. I have learned a new series of commands, that have already improved my Mac OS experience because of this thread; and for that I thank E.T. and this community at large.

I do keep that box unchecked. I navigate out of these folders when I'm finished with them. I was thinking that should close the windows but for some reason it wasn't. once in awhile I'd do a big long cycle and close a bunch of windows but since I didn't usually just stay parked where I was working it didn't seem to me that I should have to do that.

It sounds like perhaps you have windows open from prior sessions. The Macintosh by default will remember every window you opened and keep it open by default between logins and/or roboots. So perhaps you have so many windows around, because you never close them. I will suggest if this is the case you either 1. Learn to close windows hwhen you are done with them, and/or 2. Tell the Macintosh to not remember opened Windows when you logout. This is fairly easy, there is a checkbox on the screen asking you Are you sure you want to logout. Just make sure that checkbox is unchecked Then when you login next time you should have a clean slate to work with. Hope this helps with your window overload. .

I don't understand how to move a new window or a new tab to where I want to go. that's the reason I start with a window that shows my drives and just open folders until I get where I want to go.

Therein lies the confusion that flummoxed several people. Command up and down opens and closes "folders", not "windows". You can also use right or left arrow to open and close folders when in list view. Option up and down goes to bottom or top of a list. There is no Command Option up and down. Hopefully we are on the same page. >From E.T.'s Keyboard... ancient.ali...@icloud.com Many believe that we have been visited in the past. What if it were true?

I'm in list mode. I'll have one window already open in say, downloads. then I'll cycle to another window say in my external hard drive. once I'm in there I need to navigate to the folder where I'm going to copy or paste a file from downloads. sometimes I have to go 2 or 3 deep to get to the desired folder. then as I would cycle back through the windows heading for downloads, I would hit every window I had to open to get to the desired folder. I wanted to find a way of reducing the number of windows I had to cycle through. if I remember to use command-option-down arrow as I'm navigating, that seems to do the trick.

However, I am not certain that I understand the scenario to which you are referring. For example, when I need to copy and paste files between finder windows, I use Command+~. I don't think I've ever used Command+UpArrow. Can you please describe why and how this scenario plays out in a sequence of steps?

I had been asking about how to have most or all of the windows closed except for the 2 that I wanted to copy and paste between. I used to be able to do this but now all the windows I was navigating through to get to my destination had become part of the cycle. somebody here mentioned opening and closing windows using command-down and up arrows. I had been doing this without the option and including it in the command has cleared up the problem for me. it kind of closes the door or window behind me.
