Changing mouse click default to "open" (file/folder)

My logitech mouse button1 defaults to "search" instead of "open' when I left click. i don't want to have to rt click first, then select "open". I want mouse default to be "open". any suggestions?

Hi,
I have just had the same problem, but fixed it!
All I did was go to any folder, Tools, Folder Options, File Types and find "File Folder" in the list
Then go to Advanced and select New
Add one for Action - Open and add an application of Explorer.exe
This sorted it!
Hope this helps you

  • T500 with Win7 difficulty opening files/fold​ers

    I have brand new T500 with Win7, and I have difficulty opening files/folders.  They do not open with double-click or single-click (I have various times gone to Control Panel/Files and Folders option), but I have ro right-click to get a window with the open at the top --this is cumbersome and I think a problem with Win7.  I would greatly appreciate help on this, das is driving me crazy... thanks,

    I was able to get the 1-click work in opening files/folders... however, double-click does not work even when making changes in the Control Panel.  I look forward to any suggestions.  Is this a bug in Win7...?

    Hi ,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you could not edit documents with Office client application in SharePoint 2010.
    Let’s do a troubleshooting about this issue:
    1. Make sure that you have installed Office application on your machine.
    2. Which explorer did you use for your SharePoint. Please test it with IE 10 32-bit, compare the result.
    3. Please try to reset IE, compare the result.
    4. Add your SharePoint site into Trusted site on your IE options.
    5. Make sure all add-ons related to SharePoint are enable, special for SharePoint OpenDocument Class and SharePointOpenXMLDocuments.
    6. Since you used OWA for your SharePoint site, please try to disable OWA, then open documents with client application, compare the result.
    I hope this helps.
    Thanks,

  • Double-clicking doesn't open files or programs

    I just got a new macbook. I've updated the software and everything seems to be working fine, but I can't open anything by double-clicking on it. When I double-click a folder, it becomes highlighted, but nothing happens. When I double-click a file (any extension), it highlights the name as if I were trying to rename it. When I double click an application, nothing happens. To open anything, I have to right-click and select "open."
    I can't figure out how to reset whatever this is. Any suggestions? Thanks.

    The problem is the same with an external mouse, as well
    Are you an experienced computer user, or just using a computer for the first time? I mean you've successfully double-clicked on another computer before : )
    I'd keep testing with the mouse for now to keep possible trackpad issues out of the picture.
    Look in Apple Menu/System Preferences/Keyboard and Mouse and try adjusting some of those settings. Do you have left button and right button reversed? Does changing the double-click speed help? Are you using a Mighty Mouse and clicking in the middle, not over on the left as you should?
    Have you installed any RAM yourself -- try going back to the factory RAM and making sure it's fully seated. You've actually shut down and restarted the computer (not just put it to sleep)? Is the computer really hot -- try turning off, letting cool a half hour, turning back on and see if it works at first.
    If all else fails, you can try wiping the hard drive and reinstalling the entire system. If that's too complicated for you, or doesn't work, bring the computer in for an exchange (first 14 days) or warranty repairs.

  • Preview: double-click doesn't open files AFTER they have been modified

    Since a few weeks (maybe since I upgraded to OS 10.6.6 ?) Preview doesn't open files any more by double-clicking AFTER I have modified and saved them. They open when I drag them to the dock icon of Preview.
    For instance, photos downloaded from a camera open by double-clicking them. However, if I rotate or crop them and then save, Preview doesn't open them any more but shows two subsequent error messages: (1) "The application can't be found", (2) "The operation can't be completed. An unexpected error occurred (error code -43)".
    I found one workaround: when you close and reopen the folder in which these files are, they open again by double-clicking.
    Quicklook works fine.
    Looks like a bug in OS 10.6.6. Any other fixes?

    In the Finder, select one of the image files you want to open with Preview. Choose "Get Info" from the contextual menu or the File menu. In the "Open with" section, choose Preview from the pulldown menu if it's not already selected. If it is selected, choose another application (any other), then re-select Preview. Click the "Change All" button and close the dialog.

  • Changing mouse click text select in term windows

    Minor nit/question -
    When you click on text in the terminal window, it only selects up to a non-word character (i.e. it stops selecting at punctuation, so trying to click on Foo::Bar to select it all, it goes first to Foo (stopped by the ':') and then selects the entire line on the next click.
    Most Linux flavors seem to go by whitespace - first click selects everything that is between whitespace, even if it includes non-alpha characters (thus you get Foo::Bar with one click); then the next click selects the whole line. Having gotten used to that, the Mac behavior is... annoying.
    So - how does one change it? Can it be user-config'd?
    Thanks for any assistance.

    I have actually found out what the issue is. I have called a javascript method onblur of the text element which is present in the suggest region. This onblur method is interfering with the mouse click event of the auto complete suggestions shown. If i remove the onblur method, everything is working fine. I have simulated the issue in the html file present in the compressed folder attached herwith. In that i am actually throwing an alert on blur where as in real scenario i have some other functionalities to be handled on blur.
         For clarity i will explain the real scenario as well. When the user selects a suggestion from the auto complete div, the value will be placed in the text box and on blur of the text box, the dataset will be filtered based on the value in the text box.  Few pointers on this issue:
    The on blur functionality does not interfere when we select a suggestion using down arrow in key board.
    If i use mouse click to select then i have to wait for few milliseconds extra with the mouse clicked on the value before releasing it, so that the selected value is available in the textbox. Within this few milliseconds, the onblur function gets executed and then self.nodeClick is executed thus placing the value in the textbox. But forcing the user to keep the mouse clicked on the value for sometime will not sound good.
         Kindly advise as to how this issue could be handled.

  • Right Mouse click causes Finder to restart, folder to close

    Trying to bring up contextual menu > New Folder with right mouse click causes screen folders and icons to disappear and the finder appears to restart Open folders close. It is quick like a finder restart? It is annoying and alarming.

    Sounds like a Finder restart.
    Used Disk Utility to verify, and if necessary repair, your drive and permissions?
    If all is reported clear then try removing com.apple.finder.plist in your user library preferences folder to someplace else on your drive. This will reset your preferences but it may be a corrupt preferences file.

  • Default programme opening file

    Does anybody have know how to change the default programme for opening a CSV file in Mountain Lion.
    What I have done so far is
    1. Deleted  com. apple.finder.plist
    2. Change the default programme by right clicking on the icon of the file
    3. Changed the default programme in show info
    BUT
    Nothing is changed and Mountain Lion still opens CSV files with the wrong programme

    Try right click or control click on the file,  then select open with, then select other at the bottom of the menu when the window opens select your program that you want the CSV to open in, then click the check box that reads always open with.

  • I want to know how to change it so when i open a folder full of bookmarks it uses the current bookmark as the first of the group again.

    Before updating from version 7 to 8 when i went into my bookmarks, and right clicked on a folder and clicked "Open All In Tabs" it would use the current bookmark that i had open as the first of these in the folder. It would then open the folder's bookmarks to the right of that current bookmark.
    I can accept that it no longer opens the group to the right of the current tab easily enough. What annoys me is that it no longer uses the current tab to open the bookmarks. I would like to know how to change this option.

  • Double clicking does not open files.

    The regular double clicking to open files on desktop, or in e-mail or to play a song in iTunes, does not work. I can get around the problem by going to a scroll down menu and click open or play (a song) but is one more step to get where i need to go. The only thing I used lately that is different is that I used the mouse instead of the trackpad for a day because a small injury in my hands.
    I have an iBook G4, 10.5.8
    Thank you in advance for your time and attention,
    John
    PD: The mouse I was trying to use did not work, model M5769. I found the one that came with this computer later that week and worked instantly.

    Are we to understand, then, you resolved this issue
    by using a different model mouse at the time?
    Since I was reading back through older posts to see
    if some were left without a reply, I saw this & wonder.
    Hopefully you were able to solve this issue and it
    would seem as though a different product worked.
    I often use a wired USB mouse with my portables.
    Almost any brand of mouse including two-button
    will work. Fancier ones may require extra software.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Double clicking won't open files

    Since installing new Snow Leopard update I am unable to open icons by double clicking. I have to right click and then choose open. Same problem when trying to open bookmark links in Safari. Thanks

    Double-click/Drag-&-drop Photoshop files opens application but not file…
    Note the last part about the missing "Adobe Unit Types" file in the Scripting Additions folder of the root level Library.
    Another solution courtesy Anne Shelbourne
    Open your Previous System folder.
    Find "Adobe Unit Types".
    Copy it into: <Your current system Hard Drive>/Library/ScriptingAdditions/
    Then reboot your Mac.
    However, if you happen to be running a non-English version, like Photoshop CS CE or Photoshop CS ME, it appears the missing file does not get installed. You would need to install and delete the international English version first.
    I'm just speculating that this may apply in CS5 too as I don't have this latest version of Photoshop.

  • CS5 - Double clicking won't open files at times.

    This randomly happens with both jpegs and RAW files.
    Going to File > Open, opens them every time.
    Why don't my photo files open every time with double-clicking?  This does not happen with my CS3 and does not happen with any other type of files.

  • Changing mouse click behavior on JTable

    Hi everybody,
    The default behavior of a mouse click on a jTable is selection of the cell.
    I would like to change the behavior so when the user clicks once on the cell, the content can be marked and is ready to change. That would give the user the same feeling as Excel.
    Is there any way that I can do this without writing a new mouse/event handler?
    thanks,

    With a call to getSelectionModel() of JTable, you can get a reference to the ListeSelectionModel.
    This is in fact an instance of DefaultListSelectionModel, which allows you to set a new listener object using addListSelectionListener(ListSelectionListener l).
    All you have to do then is implement a custom ListSelectionListener which handles events as you want.
    Unfortunately there isnt going to be a way of avoiding writing a Listener, but this is how you would go about it.

  • How do I set my older version of Pages as the default when opening files?

    I currently have two versions (Pages '08 3.0.3 and Pages '09 4.2) on my computer. I am finding that when others send me a document created in the older version of Pages, when I open it, it converts it to the newer version. If I make changes and send it back, that same person with only the older version cannot open the file. I know I can duplicate the file, and save a copy as the Pages '08 version when sending the file back, but I'd like to skip this step. Remembering to control click each new file to choose which version I want to open the file in seems like an extra, unecessary step as well. I simply want the files sent to me to open in the older version, so I don't need to go through these extra steps each time. Anyone have any suggestions or tips for me? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    I do try to keep Pages 08 open on my computer, but I sometimes find that my documents will still convert to the 09 version upon opening them, even if I don't make any changes or even save the file myself. I also find that I do not get the "save as" option in Pages 09 when it is not a file I created myself. You wouldn't think a basic word processing file would have this much trouble opening in a version that really isn't that much older. I've been doing a lot of copying and pasting into the older version when I send files out. This really makes the 09 version inconvenient to me. If it weren't for all of my files that now require the 09 version to open (because of this default setting everything I open seems to become an 09 version) I'd get rid of this version all together, as it is not compatible for so many other people with whom I work!
