sarniscool, I just wanted to point out that it will help out greatly if you post what Operating System you are using. This queation didn't specifically require that information, but sometimes this makes a big difference.<br />

Hello,<br />
<br />
I just brought a laptop, and I am having a problem of how it's mouse pointer is set up. &nbsp;I believe this is setup through windows but not sure where. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Scenerio:<br />
When a mouse hovers over an icon, it automatically highlights it. &nbsp;One click would activate the icon, no matter if its a file, folder, or executable.<br />
<br />
How do I change it to default meaning, to highlight an icon would be to click on it once, and to execute that icon would be to double click it.<br />
<br />
I have a Sony PCG-R505. &nbsp;Thanks.

Operating systems perform basic tasks, such as recognizing input from the keyboard, sending output to the display screen, keeping track of files and directories on the disk, and controlling peripheral devices such as disk drives and printers. For large systems, the operating system makes sure that different programs and users running at the same time do not interfere with each other. The operating system is also responsible for security, ensuring that unauthorized users do not access the system. Operating systems provide a software platform on top of which other programs, called application programs, can run.
