A '''Double-click''' is the act of pressing a computer button twice quickly without moving the mouse. Double-clicking can be found on all computers on campus. Double-clicking allows two different actions to be associated with the same mouse button. Often, single-clicking selects (or highlights) an object, while a double-click executes that object, but this is not universal.

==How to Double-click==

To double-click, press the computer mouse button twice in quick succession.

If you are having problems double-clicking, it is possible to adjust the speed. Adjusting double-click settings can be done by:

[[Windows XP]] - Start > Control Panel > Mouse > Buttons (Start > Control Panel > Printers & Other Hardware > Mouse > Buttons if Control Panel is in Category view)
[[Mac OS X]] - Applications > System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse > Mouse
