This setting can automatically control accidental double mouse clicks in Explorer.
Level: Recommended For Experts Only
Description:
Accidental mouse double-clicks can be tracked with the explorer, so that it doesn't start unwanted effects. The effect of this key is apparent if the explorer is in single-click mode. In this mode, files and folders can be accessed with a single-click; however, if the user accidentally double-clicks a document, it opens-up two instances of the document. Disabling the key would force explorer to treat double-click as a single-click and restrict the launch of the document twice. For this, go to start > run menu, enter regedit and navigate to the registry path listed below. You can create a dword value name usedoubleclicktimer, if this value does not exist. Now, right-click and modify the value to 1 which can disable accidental mouse double-clicks. However, if you want to get back to the original state, change the value to 0. The changes take effect after a restart or logoff. When editing the registry it is highly recommended to run a quick scan for optimization, you can test your system now for free.
