One of our visitors wrote in yesterday asking about the way to set Windows seven or Vista to open files and folders which has a single click,
Office 2007 Enterprise, and I realized that was some thing I’d never written about before,
Windows 7 Home Premium Product Key, so I figured I’d write it up.
This change is nothing new, the setting has existed since Windows 9x and likely most of you know how to activate it, but in case you don’t,
Office 2010 Home And Business Key, here’s the quick and easy setting change.
With this change, just hover over an icon and you’ll see the underline:
And a single click will open up the folder.
Changing the Setting
Open up any folder,
Genuine Office Professional Plus 2010, click on on Organize and then Folder and Search options.
Then change the “Click on items as follows” section to “Single-click” instead of “Double-click”.
You’ll notice the setting underneath it,
Microsoft Office Standard Tools, which determines whether icon titles are underlined or not by default. The default setting is only when you point at them, so your icons will look normal:
If you change that setting to “Underline icon titles consistent with my browser”, you’ll see the titles on all items,
Genuine Office 2010, all the time:
Personally I just prefer to leave Windows to the default double-click, but a lot of people prefer single clicking, and now you know the best way to do it.
