• Don't double-click to open a topic

  I have no idea what happened, but now I can't double-click to open topics. I can right-click and select open with WYSIWYG. The only thing that I can understand, is an automatic Windows Update has occurred, so I couldn't open topics by double-clicking. Please help, it's such a drag!

  AH HA! I changed the radio button to use by default and now it works! Thank you. Can't imagine how this has changed... but thanks anyway!

• Double-click to open a Word or Excel file crashes just for centuries before opening it later.

  Recently, by double clicking on a file name to open a Word or Excel file, my PC crashes just for centuries before opening it later. Text files, PDF, jpg files and other open immediately, no problem. I have not changed the Word/Excel software recently and the extensions.doc/.xls file are correctly associated with programs. Why don't double-click work properly?

  Open Word/Excel and then use the file - dialog box open to open a file.

  Which causes the same delay?

• InDesign crashes every time you double-click to open a file on Windows System .indd

  InDesign crashes every time you double-click to open an InDesign file and has done so since the replacement of the original version of InDesign into the launch of CC.  Does anyone else have this problem?  I would say it was unique to my system if I had not met the problem several times on several different systems now.  You must restart InDesign which then opens the recovery file, so he saw the file you are trying to launch in the first place.  This leads me to believe that the problem lies in the registry file to InDesign inside Windows systems association.  I find it incredible that this problem still exists and remains declared that a solution has not been implemented by Adobe to rectify the problem.

  Double click is a fundamental tenant of open files on a Windows system in the same way, that a click is on a Mac.  Does InDesign crash ever time a Mac user clicks to open their records, I don't think.

  Someone at - it ideas other than the obvious which is Adobe actually released their figure and fixed it.

  See you soon,.

  I'm on Windows and I double-click on freely and I do not experience this problem.

  Yes, I think you're onto something when you identify yourself as a registry problem. Maybe try another registry cleaner/checker? Maybe someone has published the specific registry fix.

  If you uninstall, restart, then clean the registry, then reboot, then reinstall, you may have the opportunity to fix the registry corruption.

• By double clicking on a file in Windows Explorer it only starts the program it does not open the actual file.

  By double clicking on a file in Windows Explorer it only starts the program it does not open the actual file.  1 program, all the others still work ok.

  This option is used to work, I installed a viewer of this program option (it's a based CAD program) and after that I uninstalled the viewer that he would not even start the program, he was trying to launch the viewr.  I noticed that the file association was still for the Viewer so I changed it back, but he now throws only program.  Under right click, properties, file Type: it is said the extension only where it used to say the name of the program.

  Thank you

  ==================================
  I'm guessing that the software that you have installed diverted the media
  file (open with) associations and now that it has been
  uninstalled... When you try to open a multimedia file... it may not
  Find the program.

  It might be worth trying to change the media file
  associations that are assigned to Windows Media Player.

  Hello.  I use Photoshop CC 2014 on a MAC with os x LION.  I also have Photoshop CS6 installed.  When I double-click on a file in Bridge CC, it always opens in CS6.  If I say 'OPEN WITH Photoshop CC 2014', or if I drag the file directly to the CC, 2014 in the Dock, it will open in CC.  Since I want to double click or hit back in the deck, I constantly have to wait that the file opens in CS6, CS6 abandonment then opens another way to get into Photoshop CC 2014.  I tried to disable CS6 by hiding, but double-clicking Bridge has nothing.  Any ideas why this happens?

  Check and adjust the file types Associations in cc Bridge preferences.

• Double-click to open an item no longer works

  I realized, click items as follows - double-click to open an item from the file Explorer is no more work.

  Because I don't like the single-click mode, whenever I have a new PC XP, I switch, double-click mode.
  And then double-click mode that allows to work as I wanted, but now I do not see any difference between the single-click mode and double-click mode.
  I see the underline on folder tree control item when mouse cursor hovers over that folder and click once to develop even a folder, double-click mode.

• Cannot Alt + double click to open a picture?

  hello:                                                                                                             Level: Newbie  Id:Cs6  Os:Win8

  I read that Win8 is compatible with Id, Ps and Illy (I don't know about other applications CC but I hope they are too)

  However, by following a vid tut by Terry White ~ it directed me to click on an image and then hold down the ALT key while double clicking to open it in full mode but when I did open the picture in Windows Photo Gallery

  Well, sooner than I had spent in the default programs and set the default Windows Photo Gallery to open images ~ not knowing it would prevent operation Id or that she would (apparently), cancel everything (Yes, I'm pretty new to OS in general also) I did this b/c when I go to my image folders and click on an image to see opened in some AWEFUL programs than depixelated (< is that a Word?). fact my photos/images are simply terrible.

  I called Microsoft and the man who tried to help me said I had to go to "Associate a file Type or Protocol with a program" and then I had to choose every single file (.jpeg, .png, .tiff, etc.) for each Application Type (Adobe or not) and "Associate" this file Type with the Application I need to do is open... uh... caugh caugh... a moment... SHOUT OUT! Uh, what? Really?

  Dear God... What is not so well say! Please? (lol)

  so, is it really the deal? or does anyone else think that may have been directed incorrectly?

  I went back to the default programs to remove Windows Photo Gallery as the default program, but I don't see where it is an option.

  I completely understand is no help for Windows8 forum but IF anyone has an experince w / it is ready/able to help me out, I would also appreciate any advice you may be able to lend. I plan to go run around the net after I finish here to look for (a needle in a haystack) help in a forum of Win8 (Ow & wo is me)

  Oh, also the (nice) man at Microsoft could not tell me if I went ahead and made rather Windows Photo Gallery would always open my pictures or not, or if she would return to this program overview terrible, I started with the 1st place.

  That was my very 1st using InDesign and I would really like to start learning. -What do someone know why I can not click on Alt + 2 & then open the picture as it is supposed to have? or even how do I tell Windows8 please leave Id ALSO open files in the way that he wants less?

  Sorry for this long post. I have lived a nightmare episode just order my new laptop and now Win8 seems to create an entire season

  Thanks so much in advance for your time and your efforts. I will also continue my quest for answers and he should me em I will definitely return to share and post links.

  It also looks like in there were a few updates BIOS that address some problems graphics from AMD, but not necessarily the problems you describe one of them refers specifically to a flickering problem, however).

• How can I restore "double click-to-open" on my touch pad.

  Original title: the touch pad settings

  How can I restore "double click-to-open" on my touch pad. using window 7

  It depends on who built your touchpad.  Each company has different settings and put them in different places. You can check this common location, but it is not a guarantee.

  1. Open start and select Control Panel
  2. Click on hardware and sound
  3. Click the mouse
  4. Search for touchpad options.  If you don't see everything, go to the Hardware tab, highlight your touchpad in the list, and then click settings.
  5. If there are still no touchpad options, you will need to consult your manual to the owner for where your portable computer specific company set their parameters.
