Set Single Click for Mouse - How

Posted: 06-10-2006, 08:12 PM
Hi - just installed Vista. I can't figure out how to set the mouse to
single click. Right now I have to double click the icons.

Question: How do I change to single click?

One other thing - I got a laugh that Microsoft is still using a default
sound for Start Navigation. For heaven sakes - turn that off. LOL.

Thanks

Joe

Click Start > Control Panel > (set to "Classic View) > click System > under
General tab > select the "Single-click to open an item (point to select)
radio box and click OK.

I am having a bit of a problem using the Classic View:

As you can see by the above screenshot - Classic View is opened, but when I
click System, I get this:

http://home.cfl.rr.com/jbmsbink/Systemscreenshot.jpg

Clearly, that's the wrong panel. In fact, a number of panels open
incorrectly. However, in the non-Classic view, I can access the correct
panels, and I was able to change to single click.

Thanks

Joe

LOL Andre - no problem - you've been a big help.

There's something not working right in the Control Panel Classic mode. I
keep getting a pop-up saying my audio driver is the wrong one, although I
downloaded the Vista Beta Driver from Realtek and Vista says it installed
correctly. Those two problems might be related.

BTW - where is Add/Remove programs?
