How do I set Nautilus to use same window on double click?

Question

How do I set Nautilus to use same window on double click when browsing folders? This would be similar to how windows works. Right now, my Nautilus opens a new window of nautilus if i double click a folder. To use the same window I have to remember to nicely click the little arrow icon to expand the folder.

So, is the default behavior changeable?

Solution 1

Try the following

Go to 'Edit' -> 'Preferences' -> 'Behaviour'

Uncheck Open each folder in a new window

Solution 2

Edit » Preferences » Behaviour » Open each folder in its own window

That answer was really close but it gave me the hint I needed. On my disto of CentOS 6.2 I needed to check the box that says "Always open in browser windows."

"Always open in browser windows" wording is less clear than the old wording. I had seen this option but assumed it wasn't what I needed.
