If you don't see folder options in the control panel, click on appearance and personalization, then folder options will be listed and change it to single click to open an item and point to select, save.

Do you want to always use a single click to open files, run programs, etc?  If so:

  1. Go to Control Panel > Folder Options .
  2. Under Click items as follows , select one of the Single-click options.
