To use single click in Vista, open "Computer" then click on "Organize",
select "Folder and Search Options" and you will see "click items as
follows". Select "Single-Click . . ." then "Apply" and "OK". This should
fix your problem.

Go to the Control Panel > Folder Options > And the third item down says
"Click items as follows". And you can select the "Single-click to open an
item".

That will get it done for you!

Right-click the Start button, Explorer, Organize menu option at top for
screen, you'll see a little white down arrow next to the word Organize,
click it, Folder and Search options, and you'll see the Single click option.

Hi,
That setting is at Control Panel> Folder Options> General> Single-click to
open an item.

I've tried it... it seems completely unnatural. ;-)

Hope this helps,
Don
