[buddhist]

hi all hope you can help,win 7 ultimate i cant double left click on anything (files or folders) to open them i always have to right click. i have added attachment...thanks

Are all your programs and files getting this message when you double click?

From the control panel, click on folder options. Now look at the click options (in the middle), set your mouse according to how you like it.

Hello Buddhist, and welcome to Seven Forums.

Download and merge the exe and lnk (LNK) options in the tutorial below to see if they may be able to help fix this for you. They will restore the default associations for these file types.

Hope this helps,

Sound like you have had a Trojon attack, I suggest a scan with MSE.

Did MBam square it away?

Click on control panel from the start orb, then click on "Folder Options", then when that opens, look at the middle selection as to how you want your mouse settings. I have mine set with a single left click, to open files and folders.

just tried that, still same problem

Let's see if ESET finds anything more....

1. Hold down Control and click on the following link to open ESET OnlineScan in a new window.
   ESET OnlineScan
2. Click the
   
   button.
3. For alternate browsers only: (Microsoft Internet Explorer users can skip these steps)
   1. Click on
      
      to download the ESET Smart Installer. Save it to your desktop.
   2. Double click on the
      
      icon on your desktop.
4. Check
   
5. Click the
   
   button.
6. Accept any security warnings from your browser.
7. Check
   
8. Push the Start button.
9. ESET will then download updates for itself, install itself, and begin scanning your computer. Please be patient as this can take some time.
10. When the scan completes, push
    
11. Push
    
    , and save the file to your desktop using a unique name, such as ESETScan. Include the contents of this report in your next reply.
12. Push the
    
    button.
13. Push

Buddhist,

Are they working now?

If not, download and merge Library and any other file extension that is not working in the same tutorial below.

Well once you have got rid of your trojen. Run sfc /scannow form the cmd prompt with admin. From my understanding this scans you basic Windows files. In my opinion this is starting from the basics. I have solved many little problems this way. It can't hurt.

the scan found nothin wrong,think i will reinstall windows
