My Computer Tips

OPEN MY COMPUTER WITH TWO SINGLE CLICKS

I had a client for my Computer Tutoring business who was handicapped and so found it difficult to double-click the mouse. Sometimes she clicked too slow for the computer to recognize a double-click. But she could manage a single click much easier. So here's how to open My Computer with two single clicks rather than a double-click: first, right-click My Computer. A context menu will pull down, and you can click on the Open option. This same type of thing can be used to open up a folder in My Computer or Explorer, or to start up an application program or a program associated with a particular file extension (registered file type.) It also works as a substitute for double-clicking a shortcut on your desktop.
