DESCRIPTION

ReturnOpen... Open files and folders on your Mac with the 'Return' key, just like you did in Windows!

Did you recently switch from Windows to Mac?

Are you sick and tired of the fact that every time you hit the 'Return' key to open a file or folder you're prompted to rename it instead?

Hate having to hit two keys to open a file?

US TOO! That's why we made ReturnOpen!

Simply download and mount the disk image then double-click the ReturnOpen icon. In less than one minute you'll be using your 'Return' key to open files and folders! You don't even have to restart! Note: Finder will be relaunched at the end of the install, which will cause any windows that you have open to be closed.

    Please try at your own risk.

    1. If Developer Tools installed

    a.Double-click /Users//Library/Preferences/com.apple.Finder.plist" to open with Property List Editor.app .

    b. select NSUserKeyEquivalents line and click "Delete" button.

    c. Command-S to save changes.

    d. Reopen Finder.app(Control-Option-click the Finder icon in the Dock)

    2. If Developer Tools not installed

    a. Launch /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app .

    b. Type following command.

    defaults delete com.apple.Finder NSUserKeyEquivalents

    c. Reopen Finder.app(same as above)

    PSPFERNI59  i did that then it said:

    There is no (NSUserKeyEquivalents) default for the (com.apple.Finder) domain.

    Defaults have not been changed.

    ELSEE9  If there's no NSUserKeyEquivalents default in com.apple.Finder domain, uninstallation is successfully done. Just reopen the Finder.app.

    I tried that steps on OS X Tiger(10.4.11) and successfully uninstalled.

    If it doesn't help you, you should contact the auther of this utility.

    Your process uses two keys.
