    Hi Guys,
    How do you turn off this one clicking option? When I click a folder once it opens automatically. I messed around with the mouse option in the control panel but none of the switches I've made seem to change my folders from opening with just one click.

    As TTran008 said: Control Panel -> Folder Options -> General Tab -> select the radio button "Double-click to open an item (single-click to select)"

    I always assumed it was a well-known feature. I used it several years ago but have since abandoned it.
