In this post I will tell you how to open file folders in your computer with a single click. As the number of computer users is increasing day by day, even small children are learning to operate computers. So the information I am going to share with you will be very beneficial for you.
Many people face problems in using the computer mouse, because all the work on the computer is done with the mouse only. It is very important for operating your computer.
When someone uses a mouse for the first time, it is easy for them to move the mouse - like moving the mouse left will move the mouse pointer or cursor to the left, right will move it to the right, and moving it up and down will move the cursor up and down. This information is known to everyone. The mouse also has two button types - left and right click. You must also know this.
The problem comes for people when they try to open a file or folder with a left click of the mouse. Meaning, no folder opens with a single click in the computer. A folder gets selected with a single click and opens with a second click. Now in such a case, there are many people who are new and don't have much knowledge about the PC, or even if they have the knowledge, they don't know how to move the mouse properly. Due to which they are unable to double click with the mouse and want to open files with one click. If you are also one of them, then this post is for you only.
