Mouse Maneuvers

Double-clicking is a lot like clicking. You position the mouse pointer over the item that you want to "double-click" on, and then press and release the left mouse button twice, quickly, without moving the mouse.

You have to click twice quickly, or Windows will see your clicks as two normal clicks, instead of one double-click. And you mustn't move the mouse between clicks, or Windows will think you wanted to click two different things really fast.

Tip: Windows actually "detects" a double-click whenever you click twice in the same place within a certain amount of time. You can lengthen or shorten this time by adjusting the "double-click speed" in your Mouse settings, which you can access from the Windows Control Panel (usually by choosing Start > Settings > Control Panel).

Next: Right-click
