Genuine Windows 7 Enterprise

One of our readers wrote in yesterday asking about the best way to set Windows 7 or Vista to open files and folders using a single click, and I realized that was a thing I’d never written about before,Microsoft Office Professional 2010 Key, so I figured I’d write it up.
This change is nothing new,Genuine Windows 7 Enterprise,Office 2010 Serial, the setting has existed since Windows 9x and likely most of you know how to activate it, but in case you don’t, here’s the quick and easy setting change.
With this change,Office Standard, 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, click on on Organize and then Folder and Search options.

Then change the “Click items as follows” section to “Single-click” instead of “Double-click”.

You’ll notice the setting underneath it,Office Professional 2007, which determines whether icon titles are underlined or not by default. The default setting is only when you point at them,Microsoft Office Professional 2007 Key, 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, 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.
