Single click

[AAaron123]

A couple of years ago I change windows so hovering selected an item and a
single click selected it.

I'd like to re-try the original set up but don't remember how I selected
that feature.

Do you know how to set it back?

Thanks

Go to Control Panel and open Folder Options.
On the General page, select "Double-click to open an item".
Click OK.

Good luck

You'll find the option in Control Panel.

Go to Control panel, Click the Folder option Icon and then on the General
tab look at the section marked 'click items as follows.' If you now want to
double click on an item click on the radio button next to 'double click to
open an item (single click to select) and then press OK.

When you next select an item to open you will need to double click it
instead of single clicking.
