set FC2 to open sub folders in existing window

How do you get gnome in FC2 to not open a new window when browsing the file system every time you go in a sub folder. FC1 would just open the sub folder in the existing window but FC2 opens a new window for every folder you access and you end up with 4 or 5 windows open you don't need.

Ive looked to see if I could change it but I can't find anything.

run this command, maybe it will help, found it here http://www.fedorafaq.org/

gconftool-2 --type bool --set /apps/nautilus/preferences/always_use_browser false

Or the graphical way:

Red Hat Menu==>System Tools==>Configuration Editor
apps==>nautilus==>preferences
Now enable "always_use_browser"

You have to login again to see a difference
