| Windows 7 Home Premium 3 posts Eastern North Carolina | Folders not opening properly I'm new to this forum, this is my first post and I'm not that familiar with Windows. I have a HP machine that is just a few months old. My problem is that folders won't open with a click of the the left hand mouse button. I have to right click, then click on Open. Any suggestions on how to fix this? |

Unless your mouse is configured differently, you need to double-click the left mouse button to open your folders. You'll find Mouse properties in your Control Panel.  |

| Windows 7 Home Premium 3 posts Eastern North Carolina | I don't have a "Mouse Properties" in my Control Panel. Is the suggestion to "open explorer" referring to Internet Explorer? |
