single click to open an item

[Guest Michal Peer]

In General Tab of Folder Option the single click to open an item may be

configured.

I lost this possibility all of a sudden , together with the underline

choice.

I can only use the double click/

is someone know what happened?

Try the fix on Ramesh's site:

"Single-click to open an item" choice in Folder Options is grayed out"

Hi

 

This is what I got from CloudEight Stationary:-

 

Single Click - Does The Trick

Windows XP Home and Professional

Windows XP, by default, requires double-clicking to open

programs, documents, and short-cuts. If you're like us you want

to make your system respond as quickly as possible and

double-clicking everything you want to open isn't the fastest way

to do it. You can easily configure Windows XP to open programs,

documents, shortcuts, etc. by doing the following:

 

1. Double Left-Click on "My Computer"

2. Click on Tools (on the toolbar)

3. Click "Folder Options"

 

On the main dialog, tick: "Single click to open an item (point to

select)"

 

Then, chose one of the two options - whichever you prefer:

 

1. Underline icon titles consistent with my browser

or

2. Underline icon titles only when I point at them

 

Then click "Apply" "OK" and you're on your way to saving clicks

and saving clicks saves your wrist and saves you time!

The Value of classicShell at the registry was o.k.

and in the Group Policy Editor, under the Widows component

there is only window Media Player. No Windows Explorer.

Is there anything else I can Try?

Re: single click to open an item

 

On both keys bellow set ClassicShell to 0. Restart for the changes to take

effect. The "Single click" folder option should now be restored.

 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \

Policies \ Explorer

 

HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \

Policies \ Explorer

 

If the key and dword value are not there, you can make the key in the right

side pane. Right click in pane>select new>DWORD Value>rename it ClassicShell.

After key is made double click on it and from the popup enter an the Value

Data of 0 (hexadecimal). Do this for both Hkey locations previously

mentioned. Exit out of regedit and reboot.

 

If still it does not work right try changing the value to 1 on both keys,

reboot check the option (it should grayed out), then change value back to 0

on both. Reboot
