Guest Michal Peer Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 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?

Guest Liz Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 Re: single click to open an item 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!

Guest Michal Peer Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 Re: single click to open an item 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?

Guest Rey Santos Posted August 8, 2008 Posted August 8, 2008 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 -- Rey "Michal Peer" wrote: > 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.
