New Finder window opens in a folder randomly

Hello

Everytime I open Finder on my Mac, it seems open to a random (American Truck Simulator folder). I was wondering if I could change that. I activated the setting "new Finder Windows show: {username}". Can I change this so a new window on its own opens on my user space.

Thank you

Leo

May be a corrupt .plist.

Make a backup, preferably 2 backups on 2 separate drives.

Go to Finder and select your user folder. With this Finder window as the windshield, select Finder/display/display options for presenting or order - J.  When the display options opens, check "show the library folder. This should make your visible user library folder in your user folder.  Select the library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist.  Move the .plist on your desktop.

Relaunch the Finder by restarting the computer and test. If it works fine, delete the plist for the office.

If the same, return the .plist to where you have it since, by crushing the latest.

Thanks to leonie for certain information contained in this.

    I can only speak of sketch but it starts with a 'Open Document' dialog box so you can choose which files you want to open or you can click on the 'New Document' button. It does not open a Finder window. You will need to talk to the developers of sketches, if it bothers you.

  • When you use firefox, a new firefox window opened and blocked to continue using firefox unless I have a fine. I can't delete the page or even let him. Any help?

    The new window is "http://block.policehunt.org/?id=d04201572567089f9b464bbb1b065531". It is said in very rough English that they recorded me have access to child pornography and in order to unlock my browser, I have to pay $300 through some point of payment. When I try to close the window, a pop-up asks you, "do you want to leave this page? IF you click Yes, it flashes and repeats the same pop-up over and over.

    The English used in the message indicates it is clearly a fraud... it seems that maybe a virus, even if I have an internet virus scanner.

    Any suggestions how to "selectively" delete this 'blocking' window without having to reset firefox entirely?

    Go ahead and force close Firefox by using the Task Manager.

    CTRL + Shift + Esc > process tab > select firefox.exe > 'End process' button

    Then open the currently active settings Firefox folder by using the search box of the start menu to open this short address:

    %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
    

    If you see more than one folder, click on in the most recent. If there is only a single folder, click on in this.

    Search for files beginning with sessionstore. Generally, you will find sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak. If Windows hides file extensions, you can view according to the method described in this article to support: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/865219.

    Rename sessionstore.js to something like sessionstore_bad.js file, so that Firefox does not restore this last series of windows and tabs automatically.

    Leave this window open, and then restart Firefox.

    If you want to reopen some of the pages of the last session, you can use the tips in the following threads for 'mine' the sessionstore_bad.js file to extract the URL:

  • How to open bookmarks in a new tab without opening the whole folder in new tabs?

    I'm used to be able to open a single bookmark in a new tab. Now I can open only all of a folder of bookmarks in tabs with "open all in tabs". The option to open only favorite in a new tab or window is grayed out.

    The only way I can understand to open a bookmark without leaving the page that I should find a link to open in a new tab or open a blank tab that is many more steps.
    How can I fix the 'novelty' to make it work?

    You can middle click or hold CTRL and left click a bookmark (and other links) to open the bookmark in a new tab.

  • Sometimes when I click on a tab, instead of simply switch to this tab, a new Firefox window opens, which can be very annoying. How can I stop this?

    I have several tabs open. I want to look at one of them and I click on it. Instead of simply switch to this tab, Firefox opens a new window. Very annoying! Why does do this and, more importantly, how to make it stop?

    I use Firefox on Ubuntu LTS 14.04 36.0.1.

    The current versions of Firefox have a feature called tabs.
    You can detach a tab in the current window and open in a new window by dragging a tab in the browser window.
    You can also do this via the context menu of a tab: switch to the new window
    You can drag the tab to the tab bar in the original window to cancel this detachment.

    Hello

    1. don't you make changes to the computer until the problem occurred?

    2. what web browser do you use?

    I suggest you to try the steps below and check if it helps.

    Method 1: Try to put your computer in a clean boot state, and check to see if the same problem happens.

    By setting your boot system minimum state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem.

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or Windows 7:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Note: After the boot minimum troubleshooting step, follow step 7 in the link provided to return the computer to a Normal startup mode.

    Method 2: Also I recommend you to scan your hard disk from the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.

    The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

  • Finder windows does not display the content

    I have a Pre MacBrook, retina, 13-inch, early 2013 with a 2.6 GHz Intel Core i5, 8 GB memory, OS x 10.9.5. Today, my Finder became unstable. When I open a Finder window, it is empty and sometimes even shows the desktop or parts of the application 'through' underlying window. When I force-quit Finder and recovery, the first time I open a Finder window opens normally, but after a time freezes. Opening of windows within the application file works normally, so I can access my files in this way, but it is very annoying. Does anyone have an idea how to solve this problem? You can provide any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Boot without failure and then stop and start normally seems to have solved the problem (I'm crossing my fingers as I type).
