What is the difference between a single mouse click and a double mouse click?

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.

This may not be the complete solution but I had this problem and adapted to it this way. 1. Open Windows Explorer 2. Click Tools -> Folder Options 3. In the General Tab, select the following in "Click items as follows" - Single click to open an item (1st option) and underline icon titles only when i point at them (2nd sub option) 4. Click Apply 5. Click OK Why this is better? Dragging your mouse will select items Single click (acts as Double click) will open the items As a result, you can be sure of whether it is single click or double click rather than RANDOM double clicks UNEXPECTADLY (Annoying to the Core !!)
