PC help: Launch programs with a single click

Open applications from the Windows Desktop without having to double-click on them

A common way of opening programs from the Windows Desktop is by double-clicking on the relevant application icon. I personally find that launching programs with a single click is much easier.

To be able to do this, first open any folder, open the Tools menu and choose Folder Options. On the General tab, use the ‘Click items as follows’ section to alter the clicking preference: select ‘Single-click to open an item’ and then click OK to close the Folder Options dialogue box.

Now, all Desktop icons will open with a single click. If you don’t like it, simply follow this tip to reverse the change. Bet you won’t!
