    Double click issue...

    I am tired of the double click on this computer. It's a Dell with XP. I looked all over to find how to change it to single, but can't find it. Any ideas how I can change this?

    By default, the mouse is configured to use the Double-click to open an item (single-click to select) setting in Windows XP. To configure the mouse to use the Single-click to open an item (point to select) setting, follow these steps:

    Click Start, and then click My Computer.
    On the Tools menu, click Folder Options.
    On the General tab, click Single-click to open an item (point to select), and then click OK.

      That works great.

          Wow, a hour of searching on google for a fix for my g7, were it got to the point that it was more of a work thing to go check websites. ocf link got my eyes, so I did the little fix. After spending 20 minutes to find the little white thing that flew off on the floor.. (was 3 inches away from my foot the whole time) I got it all back together, and yes, no x2 clicking when I don’t want it.

            The applications that run through double click are defaulted on the windows and i think you cannot change them. I am not sure... You can check by the way.
