INTRODUCTION
By default, Windows opens each new folder or drive in the same window, replacing the contents of the current window with the one you open. To open a folder or drive, you double-click. You can change these and other folder options. For instance, you can choose to single-click an icon to open it, similar to clicking links on a Web page.
TIP
Go Back to Original Settings
To go back to the original settings, select Tools, Folder Options , and then click the Restore Defaults button. Then click OK .
To single-click rather than double-click to open an item, select Single-click to open an item .
Click the OK button
The folder is displayed with the options you selected. Here you see Windows classic folders with single-clicking .
TIP
Single-Click
If you select Single-click to open an item , the contents of the window are displayed as links. Single-click any item to display its contents.
