Level: Recommended For Novice Users
Description:
This tweak sets the time to measure two consecutive mouse clicks as a double-click. The mouse click time interval is always measured in milliseconds. The higher the value, the longer is the time taken to perform a double-click and the lower the value, the shorter is the time taken to perform a double-click. The default double-click time is 500 milliseconds while the value can range between 200-900 milliseconds for windows 2000 and advanced users. In windows 98/me, the value range has an extended limit of 100-900 milliseconds. However, accessing a file/folder at the lowest value of 100 is almost impossible. For this, go to start > run, enter "regedit" and navigate to the registry keys listed below. Now, simply right-click on the existing string value "doubleclickspeed", select modify and specify the time interval between a double-click operation in milliseconds in the value data field, for example, "700". The changes will 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.
