23.01 Click=Select, Double click=open

As Windows versions advance, Windows is becoming more Mac-like, so this may be out of date soon. When in the Windows operating system (which is your desktop, folders, and many other areas such as Accessories and Control Panel), it’s good to know that: When you bring your mouse over an icon, one (left) click selects that icon. A (left) double-click opens that icon. So double-clicking over your Word icon will open Word. Try clicking once, then double-clicking, on various icons to see the difference.

In general, double-clicks are rarely needed once in programs – MS office and Internet Explorer.
