I’m currently playing with fedora core 4 on my desktop in the office. One of my initial niggles is the way that the file browser app (nautilus) always opens new windows, i.e. when you click on a folder and then click on a sub folder, one ends up with two seperate windows. Very annoying.

Anyway, there is a way to stop this by telling nautilus to work in ‘browser’ mode which is much more like the windows explorer style.

Instructions on how to change this setting are here. Note, one gets to ‘gconf’ by typing gconf-editor from a console window, or by navigating to Applications | System Tools | Configuration Editor (at least on my default gnome setup).
