A single click on an Apple Macintosh computer consists of one up and down motion on a mouse. A double-click would consist of two consecutive single clicks with no or very little time between the clicks. (It is important to note that the speed of the "double-click" can be adjusted as long as a mouse is connected to the computer.) Also, usually, a single click selects an object or icon. A double-click usually opens or launches an application or document. (This is the case when your computer is in the "Finder." You can tell you are in the "Finder" when you see the word next to the Apple icon in top left corner of your monitor/screen.) All this can become confusing due to some "directions" telling the user to "click and hold." The "click and hold" means to move the mouse arrow over the object, click down on the mouse but do not finish "clicking" by letting go for the up motion of a full click, it is essentially a "half-click." This action usually causes the mouse arrow to "grab" or "hold" the object or icon.
Double-clicking means to click a mouse button twice in succession. Usually, it is the left button that is double-clicked. A single click is often used to highlight an icon, while a double-click opens it.

The function of the computer mouse is to navigate. The mouse moves around the pointer on the screen and lets you click into other sights, etc.
Open the control panel on your computer (on my computer for example, it comes up when I click start in the lower left hand corner of the screen). Next click on "mouse" or "mouse properties." There should be a tab for "pointers" that you can click on -- then choose the pointer you want.
