HP 8370 (US/CAN), 8380 (US/CAN) manual My desktop has a toolbar that belongs in the taskbar

Page 29

When I try to select a file name in My Computer or Windows Explorer, the document opens. The same is true for icons on my desktop.

You may have accidentally double-clicked the item instead of clicking it once.

Single-click mode may be active on your computer. To turn off single-click mode:

1 Click Start on the taskbar.

2 Choose Settings and then Folder Options.

3 Click Custom and choose Settings.

4 Choose the Double-click to open an item option.

5 Close the dialog boxes.

My desktop has a toolbar that belongs in the taskbar.

You may have accidentally dragged the toolbar off the taskbar and dropped it onto the desktop. The easiest way to fix this is to remove the toolbar and open it again:

1Click the X (Close) button on the toolbar.

2Right-click an empty area of the taskbar and choose Toolbars.

3Select the toolbar you want to display in the taskbar.
