Changing desktop and browsing style

The operating system enables you to customize the way you
view your desktop and browse the files and folders on your
local computer or network file server.
You can specify that:
❖
Items that normally require a double-click will open with a
single click.
❖
Folders will open in their own window instead of in the same
window.
❖
Folders are accompanied by a list of common tasks instead of
being displayed alone.
The options you choose determine how you browse in the
operating system, regardless of whether you start from the
desktop, My Computer, Windows Explorer, or Internet
Explorer.
For more information about changing your desktop style,
