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 arrange 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 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.
