Windows tip: Open programs with single mouse click, not with the default double click

February 7, 2009

If you are using Windows (XP or Vista) and you would like your programs and files to open with a single mouse click, not with the default double click here is the tip: In Windows settings you can define whether you want your programs and files to open with a double click, which is the default setting, or with a single click. In order to turn this setting on, under the Tools menu inside the Windows Explorer, choose Folder Options, and then in the new dialog window that opens up, check the box next to the Single click to open an item (point to Select option).
