Unable to single click

I always have to double click in WLM. Everywhere else I've got it set to
single click. Is there a setting I'm missing?

Best,
Karl

Re: Unable to single click

What area in specific are you having to double click? For the most part I
only have to single click.

Re: Unable to single click

You're correct there. Opening attachments does require a double click. This
is by design so that people don't accidently open a potential harmful
attachment. If you want to open an attachment you need to double click so
WLM knows that you do indeed want to open it and haven't just clicked by
accident.

Re: Unable to single click

I'd just like it to work like Microsoft Windows. I can decide to single or
double click all by myself!

Re: Unable to single click

Can't you program one of your mouse keys to double click instead of single.
I have a Logitech and that's what I did. If I remember correctly though,
Windows Mail, Outlook and Outlook Express are the same way.
