Check in Control Panel> Printers and Other Hardware> Mouse for settings
related to the behavior you're seeing. The basic mouse settings don't cover
this but there may be something extra that has been added by your mouse
software to this area that you can tweak.

Another thing to try: If using the "single click" setting (found in Folder
Options> General), try changing to "double click" to see if that is more
manageable for you.
