Instruction
If your computer is running Windows 7 or Vista, click the Organize menu in any Windows Explorer window and select Folder and Search Options. The Folder Options dialog box opens.
Now all commands that previously had to be double-clicked will be one click away. For example, to open any file or run a program, it will be enough to click once on the icon.
If you have a mouse model that has additional buttons, you can set one of them to activate commands with one click. To do this, use special software from the mouse manufacturer, with which you can configure additional buttons.
Useful advice
Please note that some models of manipulators have an additional button that is automatically configured to activate system commands with one click. Usually such a button is located directly on the left mouse button, closer to the wheel.

How will they open on the computer folders, in what form they and the files contained in them will be displayed - it all depends on what settings for the folders are selected. All the necessary parameters can be configured in the dialog box " Properties folders". To do this, you need to perform several steps.
Instruction
Open the window " Properties folders". This can be done in several ways. Open any folder on your computer from any directory. Select "Tools" from the top menu bar. In the drop-down menu, left-click on the line " Properties folders”, the appropriate dialog box will open. Another way: open the "Control Panel" through the "Start" button. In the Appearance and Themes category, select the icon Properties folders". If the "Control Panel" has a classic look, the icon you are looking for is available immediately.
In the window that opens, on the General tab, set the settings for the display and ways to open folders on your computer. If in the "Tasks" section you have a marker in the "Display a list of typical tasks in folders" field, the area of your open folders will be visually divided in two. On the right side there will be icons of files contained in folders, on the left side - tasks that can be performed for these files (rename, copy, delete, and so on). The marker in the "Use regular folders Windows" means that the task field will be missing.
In the Folder Browse and Mouse Clicks sections, set options for how folders are opened: folders to a folder, all actions can take place in the same folder, or each folder can be opened separately, and they themselves folders can be opened with either one click or double click. For example, the path My computer / Local disk C can be done in one folder, or you will open two at once folders: the first is "My Computer", the second is "C: /".
What to do if the mouse began to make a double click instead of a single one (constantly or from time to time), although you press the button only once? Here are the causes of this problem and how to solve it.
Causes
Microswitch wear
The most common cause is the wear of the microswitch, as a result of which contact bounce began to occur. The left mouse button always has more clicks than the right one (and vice versa if you are left-handed and configured the mouse for the left hand), and the microswitch is designed for a very large, but still limited number of clicks. You can fix it yourself, it will take your accuracy and half an hour of time. If your mouse is a few years old and you don't want to deal with repairs, the easiest way is to go to the store and buy a new mouse.
Software problem
Double-clicking instead of single-clicking is not necessarily a mouse malfunction. This may be purely a software issue with drivers or additional software.
To determine what is the cause in your case, try connecting the mouse to another computer or laptop. If the symptoms persist, then it's obviously a microswitch.
Solutions
Solution for driver problem
If you have Windows, this method can help: through the Control Panel, find the mouse in the list of devices, remove it from there and reboot. The mouse should then reconnect. Perhaps the problem with double clicks will disappear (unlikely).
Software solutions for microswitch wear
MouseFix
There is a purely software solution to help with microswitch bounce: Daniel Jackson's MouseFix utility (for Windows). It intercepts clicks that occur a very short time after the first, since such clicks can only be associated with contact bounce in a microswitch. This utility can be used at least as a temporary solution.
- Download the MouseFix utility and extract it to a separate folder.
- In the All Programs → Startup folder, create a shortcut pointing to MouseFix.exe.
- Log out and log in again (or just run the utility manually for the first time).
Left Mouse Button Fix
- Open the mouse. Different mouse models open differently. Often two screws (for a small Phillips screwdriver) are located under the sliding pads glued to the bottom of the mouse in its rear part - to get to them, these pads need to be pry off with something sharp and temporarily peeled off. In this case, there are latches in the front part - be careful not to break them when removing the upper part of the case.
Mouse disassembly
- Locate the microswitch under the button. If access to it with the case open is still difficult, remove the board on which it is installed. You may have to disconnect the cables and / or unscrew something else to do this.
- Remove the microswitch cover by prying on each side with something thin and sharp, such as a needle. At this stage, there is a risk of breaking the latches, be careful. Please note that there are non-separable microswitches - in this case, soldering will be the only way out.
Microswitch under the left mouse button
- When you remove the cover, a small button (usually white) will fall out of it. Don't lose her.
Micro switch cover and button
- Now you need to remove the spring-loaded copper plate from the microswitch - this is the point. Over time, the tongue-spring unbends, the button returns worse to its original position and the click is not clear - then erroneous double clicks occur.
Today I will tell you how to remove the double click of the mouse. As I have noted, computer mice can double-click for two main reasons:
1. Because ofmechanical faults
. I described such cases in the article
.
2. Because ofWindows settings or drivers
the mouse itself.
In this article, I consider the second option.
1. Adjust mouse settings
Now I'll tell how to remove double click mouse. Often the problem is solved through the Windows settings or the driver of the mouse itself. Therefore, first you need to look into the Properties of the mouse. You can find them in the Control Panel: Start -> Control Panel -> Mouse Properties. In the "Mouse Buttons" tab, check if the sticky mouse. If yes, feel free to turn it off. Also look at "Double Click Speed". By default, the speed is set slightly above average. We are trying to customize this setting for ourselves.
This is how the mouse properties look in Windows 7. The figure shows the standard settings.
2. Settings find papo settings to
If the mouse settings did not help, go to Start -> Control Panel -> Folder Options. Look at the "Mouse clicks" option. Check the box next to "Double-click to open and single-click to select".
This is what the folder properties should look like.
3. Reinstall the mouse driver
How else can remove double click? We proceed to the most cardinal method. We go toStart -> Control Panel -> Device Manager . We are looking for our mouse there (usually in the "Mice and other pointing devices" section). Open the context menu with the right mouse button and select "Properties". Next, we find the "Driver" tab, where we select driver removal. Agree with all Windows warnings.
The easiest way to uninstall the mouse driver is here.
If everything is fine, then the driver will be completely removed, after which the mouse will no longer work. Now you can extract it and then restart your computer (this is not at all necessary, but still it will not be superfluous). Because the mouse is disabled, you can use the keyboard to restart your computer. Press the Start button, then use the arrows and the Tab key to select "Shut down", and then press Enter. Alternatively, you can simply press the appropriate button on the system unit or keyboard.
After the reboot, plug the mouse back into the connector. Windows will automatically detect it and reinstall all drivers.
After that, the problem should disappear. If you are still wondering "how to remove double click" , then the problem is still in mechanical wear. This is discussed in more detail in the article
In this tutorial I'll show you how to add and remove double mouse click.
How to double click the mouse
It is very easy to do this. We go to any of the folders on the computer. In the top menu go to "File ->
This is for Windows 10. In previous versions of Windows, this item will be "Organize -> Change folder and search options".
If you are not looking for an easy way, then you can go to the "Control Panel", then in the category view, go to "Appearance and Personalization" and click on the link "Explorer Options" (Folder Options).
All this will lead to the opening of a new window, where on the "General" tab in the "Mouse clicks" block, you just need to change the setting to "Open with one click, select with the pointer."
Additional settings "Underline icon labels" and "Underline icon labels on hover" are responsible for underlining the names of files and folders. In the first case, it will always be there, and in the second case, only when you hover the mouse cursor.
Now, to select a file or folder, just hover over them with the mouse, and to open or run, you need to click only once instead of two.
How to remove mouse double click
In order to return everything as it was, you need to select the item "Open with a double click and select with a single click" in the mouse click settings. Those. again go to "File -> Change folder and search options" (Organize) and select the desired item.
Everything will work as before. Double click instead of one will open folders and files, and one click just select them.
There are cases when these manipulations do not help and the computer still has a single mouse click instead of a double one. To get rid of this, you can try removing the device from your computer. Right-click on the "My Computer" icon and go to "Properties".
After that, we completely restart the computer. When Windows boots, the device must be installed on a new one.
If none of the suggested methods help, then go and buy yourself a new mouse, because most likely the problem is in it.
In this tutorial, we will deal with creating restore points and restoring Windows 7.
Today I'll tell you how you can quickly create a shortcut to a site on your desktop. This is a fairly common question that novice users ask. Of course, it is most correct and convenient to store links to sites in the bookmarks of the browser itself, but if you really want to have a separate shortcut on your desktop, then now I will tell you how to do it.
In this lesson I will tell how to uninstall a program from a computer and do it right.
Once upon a time there was a mouse, and her name was Defender MM-525. She steadfastly pulled her mouse strap - clicked on links, scrolled pages, moved the cursor. But once a misfortune happened - instead of one click, she began to make two, or even more. It used to be that you want to pause a video on YouTube - but instead it opens in full screen. Or you select the text - and at the last moment the selection is reset. It is clear that this could not continue.
What to do? The Internet offers the following options:
At the top is power, at the bottom is ground, to the right is a wire to the processor input. And at the input it has a gate of a field-effect transistor. In our case, we can assume that this is simply an ideal voltage meter. The voltage is greater than the specified one, which means that the processor outputs, the input is one, and if it is less, then zero.
But if the input of the processor is ideal, then the switch cannot be considered as such with all due respect. When the switch closes, it means that one piece of metal is in contact with another piece of metal. But between the “off” and “on” states, there is that awkward moment when these two pieces barely touch. And if there is contact now, then in a microsecond it can disappear, and then recover again. And sometimes even one contact hits another and, according to Newton's laws, bounces off it, or even several times. What will mother processor think? That's right - he will think that the switch was turned on, turned off, turned on, turned off, turned on, turned off, etc. Although "in fact" it was turned on only once. This phenomenon even has its own name - contact bounce.
Wait, doesn't it remind you of anything? Oh yes, a similar incident just happened with our mouse! This means that our working hypothesis will be that the developers of the mouse either did not remember the possibility of chatter at all, or their efforts to combat it were in vain. And we will have to fight this enemy for them.
Let's notice two things. First, the speed of our clicking is limited. It is unlikely that we will click on the mouse more than ten times per second. Secondly, the switches try to make the bounce moment pass as quickly as possible, and certainly in one tenth of a second the mouse button will have time to calm down. Thus, our task is to separate high-frequency pressings from low-frequency ones, that is, we need a low-pass filter. The easiest way to do this is to solder a capacitor:
That is what we will do.
Here it is - our button:
And this is it, but without the lid:
Let's sign the contact numbers for convenience:
The principle of operation is obvious - at rest, contacts 1 and 3 are closed, when the button is pressed for a while, all contacts open, and then contacts 1 and 2 close. When released, the same thing happens in reverse order.
We opened the button not to bend something, but to see firsthand how it works, and if we're lucky, then look at the rattling. And the Samsung WB2000 camera and the I96U lens will help us in this. The mentioned device can shoot video at a frequency of 1000 frames per second. True, not so hot, but, as they say, than they are rich.
The most sophisticated setting for high-speed shooting:
And, actually, the movie:
As you can see, the contact manages to fly the entire required distance in five frames (that is, 5 milliseconds), and no visible bounce is observed. Perhaps the chatter could be seen on the oscillogram, but, unfortunately, I remembered that I had an oscilloscope only when the mouse was already assembled. But one way or another, it is clear that the characteristic bounce time is clearly less than the minimum click time, and that the boundary between them runs at about five milliseconds.
Lyrical digression. How would I make a mouse if I had a switch like the one above? That's how:
Cheap and angry. The input of the processor is not only a perfect voltmeter, it is also a capacitor of several picofarads. So in those milliseconds, while one contact flies from the second to the third, the voltage will not have time to noticeably change, and when it arrives, the capacitor will be charged, and even if the contact jumps, it will still not be able to discharge, so there will be no bounce. Well, unless he jumps as far as the opposite contact, but this, as we have seen, is an extremely unlikely situation.
But the valiant mouse developers, as we will see in a moment, do not look for easy ways.
Let's measure our switch with a multimeter. First, we find that none of the contacts is shorted to power. Anyway. At rest, there is 2.5 volts of power on the second contact, on the rest - zero. In the pressed state, all contacts are zero. This suggests that the developers did not follow my path, and apparently the second contact serves as the processor input, and the third contact is not used at all. But the funniest thing is that after pressing the button, zero on the second contact remains for another five seconds! Unfortunately, the mechanism of work and the advantages of such a solution and the motivation of the developers remain a mystery to me. Hopefully someone in the know can enlighten me.
Thus, our entire coherent scheme for combating chatter breaks against a blank wall of misunderstanding of modern circuit solutions. But, in fact, do not stop the same when the job is almost done. So let's solder without understanding.
We will solder the capacitor between pins 1 and 2. And to measure the effect, we will use a script like this one, slightly correcting it so that it reacts both to releasing and pressing the button, and removing artificial time limits.
A 0.1uF capacitor gives a click time of 600ms. That is, no matter how fast we press, the button will “unstick” no earlier than after 0.6 seconds. It's too much. By linear extrapolation, we assume that 3.3 nF will give a time of 20 ms. We solder - and we see the time is about 100 ms. But this time includes the time of the actual movement of the finger, and without a capacitor it is not much less. After trying a few more values, I decided to stop at 3.3 nF.
Since there were no SMD capacitors, I had to solder the legged one:
That, in fact, is all. The mouse was successfully assembled and continues its simple but responsible service. I hope the above recipe will be useful not only for my mouse.
UPD: Completely forgot. There is another scourge of mouse buttons that never came up in the discussion until I remembered. It feels like this - you have to press the button with more force, the click is no longer as clear as before, and sometimes the button gives a release signal while it is pressed. And there is only one solution - that plastic that presses on the switch can be erased over time, then such a beautiful recess forms in it, which does not allow the button to be pressed all the way. It is easy to treat - you need to either modify this plastic with a file so that it again becomes flat and parallel to the button, or glue a thin flat plastic to it for the same purpose.
It may also seem that I am against methods that are “alternative” to those described in the article, but this is not so. But each method has its own scope. If the mouse is made in such a way that the slightest bounce is perceived as pressing - you will clean the contacts and / or change the switch every week.
UPD2: It turned out that not everything is so simple.
