So, you got a new computer with Windows on it, probably Vista by this point.  But even with Windows XP your computer probably still comes where you have to double click on icons on your desktop.  What a pain.  Some people always double click on desktop icons not knowing they can single click saving them time.  One of the questions  I get very frequently is how to I single click on the icons like on my old computer.
