Does anyone know of a fix for this problem? I had configured
my mouse for left single-click to open files and programs.
It worked well all these months but suddenly today I find
that the single-click for opening folders and files is no
longer available, and it only highlights. I went into
Windows Explorer/Tools/Folder Options and noticed that the
Single Click to open items is greyed out and only
double-click is available. Please help.

Scorpio,

Turn Off the Classic shell:

"Single-click to open an item" in the Folder Options is grayed out:
