Double click no longer opens folders, but opens desktop

Starting a few days ago when I double click a folder on the desktop it no longer opens.  Instead, I am taken to a new desktop window that shows the folder clicked plus all other items on the desktop.  How do I restore the double click to open the folder?  I have tried resetting the double click speed with no results.  Thanks.

Open Mission Control. Close all desktops except Desktop 1 by positioning the cursor over each one and then clicking the X button in the top left corner.

  • Double-click no longer opens the open dialog in CS5

    I am testing the trial of CS5 and I noticed that I can no longer double-click the photoshop desktop to pop open the open dialog.  Did they get rid of this?  I looked through the preferences and I didn't see any option to turn it on.

    Yes, I suppose that is it, it doesn't let you double-click nor drag on files to open them underneath the toolbar.  The new layout of Photoshop usually has the images that I am editing maximized and covering the photoshop desktop, so I have no way of just double-clicking or dragging files on, except I did find that you can drag the files onto a blank spot at the top of the tabs to open.  However, even if that is full it is hard to find a spot, I find myself just getting used to now opening files the Ctrl+O way.

  • Double-click in Files panel will not open a file

    Double-click in Files panel will not open a file. Instead
    alert message appears (I will translate from Czech): "Design notes
    are not allowed for this file. If you want to use Design notes...".
    I do not want use Design notes, I want to open a file from File
    Panel.
    The same issue is when opening by right-click/Open. The only
    (and unconfortable) way to open a file from Files panel is to
    right-click/Open in program/Dreamweaver, this works.
    Do you know why? help me, please, this disturbs me very much.
    I have clean installation of up to date CS3 Design Premium
    (Version 9.0 build 41) on WinXP SP2. Previous version of DW (v8)
    worked fine in this way. Associations in system are set OK, I
    think, because double-clicking in my file manager really opens for
    examle PHP files in DW.

    Also Drag & Drop from Files panel is not functioning.
    Sometimes neither alert appears, simply nothing happen.
    Note: I am trying usual files like PHP or HTML files, but
    also others (PDF, CSS) with the same result - nothing
    happens.

  • Double clicking Illustrator (.ai) file does not open a file with opened app.

    Hello,
    I have an Illustrator CS5 (15.0.2) running on Windows 7 Pro. Here are the symptoms: when double clicking the Illustrator file once the application is already open, the file will not open. You will see an hourglass for a few seconds, but no file contents are displayed. However, if I were to close Illustrator application and then double click on the file, Illustrator will open the file correctly. Additionally, if I go to File -- Open and manually select the file, it also opens the file correctly. Only double clicking the file once the Illustrator application is already open does not work.
    Has anyone seen this issue and knows how-to fix it?

    Right click on a .ai file and choose properties, check to see what application is set to open .ai files. Try running in 32 bit mode.

  • No place to Double Click visible on pdf file-after opening a password-protected pdf

    No place to Double Click visible on pdf file-after opening a password-protected pdf

    Thanks Pat for your interest.
    Actually I am using Windows 8 (Not 8.1) and Adobe Reader Version XI (11.0.06)
    Now, the exact problem I am facing is that there are certain types of pdf files I am being sent which are Password pritected (it may not be a necessary condition, i don;t know) and after I have keyed-in the correct password, it flashes the message- "Double-click here to open your file". Now while using the earlier versions of Adobe (or maybe Windows) I used to see a peculiar Pin-shaped object on the screen, double-clicking which used to open the file. That object is somehow missing this time, so I have no place to double-click. Therefore I am not able to open the file.I may add that I have recently moved to Windows 8 from XP, so my knowledge of Windows 8 is not up to mark. Can you please help?

  • Why does double-click no longer select a whole word?

    I am on the beta update channel and currently using FF 8.0, latest update as of the moment of this posting.
    I am not sure when it happened - I think since I started using 8.0 - but double-click no longer selects a whole word. It's the same effect as a single click - simply positions the insertion point where the mouse cursor is located.
    This is very aggravating. I thought it may be a bug in the new version (I already posted it to Bugzilla, but hasn't been confirmed yet), Unfortunately, I don't have the old version to cross-check (can I install both versions on one machine?)
    Or is it some configuration issue? Or conflict with something else? I've searched and not (yet) found any other complaints about this issue from other users.
    Note that I do not have the problem in any other app nor in other browsers that I have installed (e.g., IE, Chrome, Opera, Safari). In all of those, double-click on a word selects the whole word.
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions or guidance.
    Best,
    Yosh

    OK - I found the culprit. It seems that the Answers.com '''1-Click Answers''' utility had changed its behavior. In its Options on the Activation tab is an option to activate it when using double-click in a browser. I don't remember turning it on, but it ''was'' on. When I turned that option off, the problem went away. Apparently it is not compatible with FF8, since double-click was apparently intercepted, but 1-Click Answers was not activated - the double-click simply became a no-op.
    Now that I've turned off that option, double-click in FF8 is back to the way it's supposed to work for quickly selecting a whole word or sentence.
    If anyone else encounters this problem, I hope this information will help to resolve it.

  • Double-click no longer opens PDF files after 9.3.2 update

    I have Acrobat 9 Pro installed on both my desktop and my MacBook. On the desktop, the update to 9.3.2 went without problems, on the laptop however, I'm running into problems:
    When I double-click on a PDF file, the Acrobat application opens, but the document does not open in Acrobat. If Acrobat is already running, the document also does not open in Acrobat. However, if I use the File>Open menu item in Acrobat, the documents open without any problems.
    I've tried to repair Acrobat (which on the Mac dos not seem to do much besides reporting that the no repairs are necessary), and I've also fixed the file system permissions.
    Anybody else having these problems? Or, even better any tips about how to fix that?
    Thanks,
    Karl Heinz

    Thanks for the tip, but that did also not fix the problem. I ended up removing Acrobat 9 from my system and reinstalling it and all the updates up to 9.3.2. It's working again.
    Thanks again,
