Single-click folder name to rename it

[Guest]

now I reinstalled WindowsXP and do not remember how to set the mouse to
single-click on a folder name to open it to edit it.

I have the mouse set for single-click but that only highlights the folder
name. I still have to right-click and select rename. Before, I some how had
it set to skip the right-click steps.

I'm setup for double clicking.

To rename a file/folder, click once, wait a little, click again. Skips
the right click | Rename step.

Right Click Start and select Explorer. Select Tools> Folder Options> from
General tab, Click items as follows, check Single-click to open an item.
