The Greatest PC Mysteries--Solved!

Today I'm giving you a link to a PCWorld's page that I am sure all of you will enjoy.

On this page you will see how PCWorld's editors banded together to solve the greatest PC mysteries.

You'll find answers to many questions such as:

Why is [Program X] always running when I start my PC?

Why does my PC keep making a grinding sound?

Why do I need administrator access to delete certain files?

Does it matter whether I 'safely remove' devices?

Where did my downloaded files go? Why can't I find them?

My Recycle Bin has disappeared. How do I restore it?

Why do Adobe Reader and Java update so frequently? Do I have to allow it?

And many many more issues, all of them with further links for clear explanation of each one.

SINGLE "CLICK" TO OPEN PROGRAM ICONS IN YOUR DESK TOP

I am sure that  most of you know how to change "double click" to "single click" in order to open program icons in your desk top.

I also know that probably some  of you do not know how to do it; (many  people I have helped did not even know that this was possible. This post is for you).

I for one, can't stand having to "double click" an icon every time I want to open a program.

For those of you who have no idea how to do it, here goes: ( I really do not understand why Windows does not have an icon on the start  screen to make this option available at the touch of you mouse button).

CLICK START

CLICK CONTROL PANEL

SELECT "APPEARANCE AND PERSONALIZATION" TITLE

SELECT THE "FOLDER OPTIONS"  TITLE

UNDER "GENERAL TAB" SELECT "SINGLE CLICK TO OPEN AN ITEM POINT TO SELECT" OPTION.

That's it, from now on you will only have to single click rather than double click any icon in your desk top in order to open programs.
