Usually, opening a file or folder is as easy as double-clicking. Many users tend to use the keyboard to navigate to files and folders for quick access.
However, there's a hidden gem to open files and folders with a single click on Windows 10. Simply configure Windows 10 to always open files and folders with just one click, no need for third-party software. Check out the step-by-step guide in the article below from Mytour.
Open Files and Folders with a Single Click on Windows 10
Follow the steps below to enable opening files and folders with just one mouse click on Windows 10:
Step 1
Step 2: In the Folder Options window, go to the General tab, under Click items as follows, select Single-click to open an item.
Next, you will encounter two additional choices below the Single click to open an item setting:
# Underline icon titles to match my browser style
# Underline icon titles only upon hovering
Your task is to pick one of these two options.
If you choose the first option, File Explorer will add an underline beneath each file name. Opting for the second choice (Underline icon titles only when I point at them) will underline file names only when you hover the mouse cursor over them. This is the most user-friendly option as it keeps files visually uncluttered.
Finally, click Apply to complete the process.
From now on, you can open files and folders with just a single mouse click on Windows 10. This operating system offers numerous interesting tricks to save time and streamline your computer usage, especially the trick of bypassing the Windows 10 login screen, which significantly speeds up your computer access.
