    I've hunted for a few days now and can not figure out how to turn this function off. When you move the mouse over an icon or folder, and it sits over it for a few secs, it automatically clicks it. How do I disable that? I want to double click to open things, not have it happen when i sit over an icon for a few seconds. THanks

    In a regular windows explorer window, go to Tools>Folder Options, and make sure under "Click item as follows" is set to double click. Then in the Control Panel, go to the mouse settings and make sure ClickLock is turned off.

    If that doesn't solve it, try plugging in an external mouse and see if it's still a problem.
