    Open a folder, click tools or folder options, then somewhere there is the option to change from single click and double click.

    EDIT: sorry for the shady info, I didn't bring my laptop to work plus my lab is just full of crapintosh.

    Just joking, I love Mac (^_^)

    Open folder > Folder Option> under the "General" tab, there is an option to "Click items as follows"

    I had this problem too, just decided to tackle the issue.

    Start > Settings > Control Panel

    Folder Options > General Tab > "Click Items As Follows"... change to Double-Click

    Enjoy
