Yes, the suggestions re folder options method worked, and are greatly
appreciated. I was looking with futility in the Mouse adjustments folder,
which is where logically it would seem it should be located. (By the way, I
tried the "click" entry in HELP, but that led nowhere)
 
You are really stupid or lazy.
To change the number of mouse clicks required to open items

1.. Open Folder Options in Control Panel.
a.. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
b.. Double-click Folder Options.
2.. On the General tab, under Click items as follows, click the option you want.
Notes

a.. If you click Single-click to open an item (point to select), you can also specify when icon titles are underlined.
b.. To check your current browser settings for underlining links, open Internet Options in Control Panel. To open Internet Options, click Start, click Control Panel, and then double-click Internet Options. On the Advanced tab, check the setting for Underline links.

Hi, Click Start, open the Control panel then Folder Options and check the
relevant box on the General Tab. Hope this helps.
 
I knew one click was useless search term. Double click is the second hit. Single is the matching word for double not one. One matches two.

Mr. Candy: I am neither stupid, nor lazy. I consulted the Help for XP, and
was not able to find an answer. I turned to the help group, who have been so
helpful to me in the past. I did try to follow your instructions, (which
appear to be incorrect, by the way), and was grateful when someone provided
the correct solution.
Just as there is a suggested guide on how to submit a question to a help
group, there should be a suggested guide as to how to, or how not to,
respond to such questions. And one of those suggestions should be to not
insult the person asking the question.

So I type stuff into help, using the terms in the person's post, check it works then some moron, who I've hust told the steps too, comes back with a "I'm too pathetic for that".
 
Happy, If you stay with one click(Documentric's) for a couple of week's you
will be twice as fast at your navagational skills. Double click went out With
Win98. Also set up your Task Bar for Quick Launch. One Click Of the icon.
Over a year these steps will save you week's Of time. And clean all those
icons off your desktop, not needed. To one click go to Mouse settings. Step1
slide your mouse speed all the way to fast on Buttons setting. Step 2 go to
pointer Options pointer speed to Fast. Then ckick the Automatically move
pointer to the default button in a dialog box. On one click you leave your
mouse as default. It's Left click and scroll over Open. Hope this helps you
in the future. Woz

I had been using single click for about 10 months, but it was causing me
problems in that it selected things as I hovered over them, was making it
hard to use ctrl & shift to "selectively select", when something was slow in
opening, I didn't know whether I was supposed to click it at all, etc. It
became annoying, and actually seemed slower............
But, sounds like you are convinced, so I will make the changes you suggest,
and give it another try. By the way, what is Documentric's?
 
Dear Proffrssor Candy< One Click = Documentrics!!!! Do You

Dear Happy, Maybe we Should ask Professor Candy?>>>Not! Documentrics is a
term coined by my Typing teacher. I had to take a typing course at Mountain
View College, Feb. 2003. It Is exactly what you are doing, Wih the settings I
suggested. I still sit and watch people constantly struggle with double
clicking. The Speed of Navigation is like adding more Memory to your PC. You
can tell the difference in a couple of weeks. I'm glad to hear that someone
else is progressing with there skill's.
And you don't have to sit and play with the mouse settings. All the way to
fast and your done. Good Luck: Woz
