To open a folder on the desktop using a mouse, you should place the pointer of the mouse over the folder and perform a double left click. This means clicking the left mouse button twice rapidly without moving the mouse pointer. This action will open the folder
. Alternatively, you can right-click the folder once to open a context menu, then left-click on "Open" from that menu to open the folder
. By default, a single left click only selects the folder but does not open it, unless the system settings have been changed to open items with a single click instead of double click
. However, the standard and most common action is double left clicking to open a folder
. In summary:
- Standard way: Double left click on the folder icon to open it.
- Alternative way: Right click once, then select "Open" from the context menu.
Single left click typically only selects the folder and does not open it unless system settings have been customized for single-click opening.
