i dont know if / how you can change it but command-O will open the file or folder

there is nothing wrong with your mac

If you're in the finder, pressing enter/return has ALWAYS brought up the rename function.

Unless you have been using Pathfinder.

i'm a bit confuse. thank you if u can clarify this for me....

Unless you are using a Finder replacement (like Pathfinder) pressing enter/return will ALWAYS (and has been this way for 20 years) will bring up the option to change the filename.

If you're using Windows, then pressing enter/return will open the file.
