Question: I prefer double-clicking to open items, but half the time when I double-click, nothing happens.
Answer: You probably need to change the amount of time between the two clicks. If there’s too much time between them, Windows interprets them as two single clicks.
You can set this in your Mouse folder. Go to the Control Panel and open the Mouse Properties folder (see page 13 and page 14 of BASICS of Windows: The Easy Guide to Vista & XP, Part 1). Click on the Buttons tab, and drag the slider in the Double-click speed option.

Double-click versus single-click to select items
Question: My mouse doesn’t act right. Icons appear to be selected when I move the mouse cursor over them but nothing happens to the open windows when I do the same thing.
Answer: Your mouse is set up to open items with a single click, so the act of moving your cursor over the item causes the item to be selected and a single click will open it. If you don’t like it, follow instructions on pages 10-11 to change back to double-clicking to open.
