setting "one click" for desktop icons launch

[Lars]

In XP, from control panel, we were able to set "one click" to launch apps
from the desktop, clicking on their icons.

How to set this in Vista ? Thanks,

Hello,

- Click Start
- Click Computer
- Click the Organize button on the toolbar
- Click Folder and Search Options

- Click OK

Thank you Jimmy. This feature became obscure in Vista.

Anybody else notice that once you set one click that EVERYTHING is one click
like selecting wallpaper. When you click on the wallpaper you want to
preview it just goes ahead and does it and closes the selection window.
Kind of annoying.

That's why I don't use the single-click setting.

I was first exposed to it in XP. It cam that way in my laptop. I didn't like
it in the begining, I almost prefer it now.
