I use Puppy Linux to troubleshoot computers and backup data from dead hard drives. However, by default, the system automatically opens a file or folder when it is clicked just one time. For me, it seriously slows down my work. I finally learned how to set Puppy Linux to double-click instead of single click for opening folders and files.
- RIGHT Click on any desktop icon
- Click ROX-filer —> Options
- Click Filer windows from options on left of screen
- Uncheck the box that says Single-click navigation
- Click OK
This short video demonstrates how this tip works.

Cool tip. I was looking in the JWM config and couldn’t find it. I find the default singleclick really annoying.
