To single-click in folders and on the desktop
Single-clicking to open items lets you work on your desktop and in your folders the same way you do in your browser. You can use single-clicking in two ways: with or without underlining icons and titles.
- In any Explorer window (such as My Computer or Windows Explorer), click the View menu, and then click Folder Options.
- On the General tab, click Custom, based on settings you choose, click Settings, and then click Single-click to open an item.
- Choose the underlining style you want:
- To see items underlined the way they are in your browser, click Underline icon titles consistent with my browser settings.
- To underline items only when you point at them with the mouse, click Underline icon titles only when I point at them.
Notes
- If you change to single-click mode, some of the procedures in Internet Explorer Help will be incorrect; where the Help text reads "double-click," you will only have to click an icon once.
- For Help on an item, click
at the top of the dialog box, and then click the item.
