Pointer auto selects without clicking

[Guest]

I am new to Vista. I have Home Premium on a Compaq Presario Laptop.
Periodically when I have my mouse pointer over an object, Vista decides on
it's own I wanted to select it. ANNOYING AS HELL. How do I make it stop?

Click start> control panel> folder options.

Under the "General" tab, find "Click items as follows" and check the
radio button for the option you want.
