Question about Mouse settings
My current Computer is a Sony VAIO - Pentium 4 - CPU 1300M.
From the settings options, the mouse appears to be set at double click, but whenever I attempt at highlighting/selecting a group of objects (jpeg, .txt or whatever files) and single click on the first of a series, it immediately wants to work with the first object and gives me no time to highlight any other or range of others. I tried to slow down the click speed but it does not seem to make a difference. It does appear that every thing is executed by a single click, but I do not see other options about the mouse movement. Am I missing something? |

If so, it is single click and you select a range by just pointing...use shift or Ctrl key and point to objects or range therof. Personally, I like single click, never saw any need to click twice when I can do it just once. ___________________ It does appear that every thing is executed by a single click, but I do not see other options about the mouse movement.

Question about Mouse settings
You *may* have a faulty mouse of course, micro-switches do eventually wear
(or even be faulty from manufacturer). Using Control panel | Mouse icon, try testing your mouse button functionality. You should also have the option to transpose the left and right buttons. Although it may take a bit of getting used to, but see if the same thing happens with the buttons transposed. It should prove the mouse one way or the other. Mart "BAP" wrote in message ...

Question about Mouse settings
Thanks for the tip! The Folder options display does show the current
settings, as compared to the Mouse display from Start/Settings/Control Panel/Mouse. I can see the options available that, I am sure, will,probably will play with, in time. I am beginning to agree with you that the single click setting will be OK, once I get used to it. Pressing/Holding Shift or Ctrl keys will allow me to point and/or select items. I need more pracrice, however. Thank you for your suggestion! "dadiOH" wrote: BAP wrote: My current Computer is a Sony VAIO - Pentium 4 - CPU 1300M.

Question about Mouse settings
I do not have any explanation for it, but the "View" Tab, from My Computer
or Windows Explorer does not show "Folder Options". Weird! Thank you for your reply! "Ben Myers" wrote: "BAP" wrote in message ... My current Computer is a Sony VAIO - Pentium 4 - CPU 1300M.

Question about Mouse settings
This Computer has been available, but has not had much use and not much has
been installed on it, to my recollection. I will spent some time looking into it, but, at this point, single click appears to be acceptable. Thank you for your inputs!
