    Mouse click problems


    I want my mouse to "select" when I single click the left button and "execute" when I double click. My husband and I share the same PC and his mouse operates the way I want, mine does not - it executes on a single click. Help?

    Thank you. Not sure why they put this under "folder" options. Anyway, it worked. Thanks very much!

    Yeah, the windows user interface is a real mess - made for scouts. But I am glad you could straighten it out.
