Troubleshooting Cursor Issues on Toshiba Satellite A300 - 15M

AI Thread Summary
The issue with the Toshiba Satellite A300 - 15M involves the cursor selecting icons and opening them as if double-clicked, which may be due to a setting change rather than a hardware malfunction. To resolve this, users can adjust the mouse settings in Windows Vista. By accessing "My Computer," selecting the desired drive, and navigating to "Tools" followed by "Folder Options," users can choose between single-click and double-click options for opening items. Selecting "Double click" and applying the changes should restore the expected functionality, allowing folders to be opened with a double-click instead of a single click.

I have a problem with the pointing device or any external mouse connected to my Toshiba Satellite A300 - 15M. I use windows vista. When I just move the cursor above any icon, it selects it as if I clicked on it! and if I clicked the icon once, it opens as if I double clicked it! Also when the icon is selected, it's name becomes underlined... I thought it's related to the mouse setting, I looked for it but I didn't find anything to change...
Any help?

Sounds like the left button is pressed down - either a bad contact in the mouse or a seriously bad driver.
 
No, as I said above.. for sure it's not pressed or it's broken... It seems like a change in setting happened
 
Step 1
Click on the "My Computer" icon on the desktop. Allow the screen to come up showing all of the drives on the computer.
Step 2
Double click on the "C" drive or whichever drive that you want the folders to open with one click. The window that opens will show all of the folders on that drive.
Step 3
Navigate your mouse to the top of the open windows and click on "Tools." You should see a text line for "Folder option." Click on the text.
Step 4
Look on the new window screen that pops up. You should see a number of options. At the bottom of the screen should be the options for "Single click" or "Double click" for click items. Select the "Double click" option.
Step 5
Click "Apply" at the bottom of the screen to save your preferences. You should now be able to open any folder on that drive with a double click.

Thread 'Urgent: Physically repair - or bypass - power button on Asus laptop'
Asus Vivobook S14 flip. The power button is wrecked. Unable to turn it on AT ALL. We can get into how and why it got wrecked later, but suffice to say a kitchen knife was involved: These buttons do want to NOT come off, not like other lappies, where they can snap in and out. And they sure don't go back on. So, in the absence of a longer-term solution that might involve a replacement, is there any way I can activate the power button, like with a paperclip or wire or something? It looks...
