| | In Explore Double Clicking a Folder gives Properties Hi When I am in Explorer and Double Click a Folder to open it the folder doesn't open but the Properties Dialog box appears... How can I stop this when it happens. Perhaps I am hitting a key combination to cause this behavior. I'm not to sure.. Thank you.. |

| | Sounds like your left click is reversed with the right. If you are doing a left clikc do a right click instead. This can be changed in Conrtrol Panel Mouse |

| | You can reverse left with right, if easier for you. Go to control panel and then mouse. Take care. |

| | I've had this happen on my Win 7 Pro X64 system, no idea why. I do not want anything hidden on my computer so I show everything. When they appear, usually in twos, I simply delete them. Never caused me any problem to date. Would be nice to know where they come from though. Has to be something I do but no idea what. |

Tap both the ALT keys a bit to maybe unstick them or try double clicking after replacing the keyboard. NOTE: When you ALT+ENTER or ALT+Double Click on a folder or file, you will get the properties dialog. Its the default shortcut Keyboard shortcuts for Windows Check out this sub link in that page Shell objects and general folder/Windows Explorer shortcuts |

| | just thinking if it has something to do with regional settings. Mouse control panel will fix it for sure. |

| | There is a Sticky Keys setting but I don't think that is what is happening. |
