Double-clicking is as much a part of my daily routine as is brushing my teeth. Scary, ain't it? There's an invisible rectangle limiting the area in which one may perform the second click. By default, the horizontal and vertical values are 4. To enlarge this area (for those of you who can't stop moving your mouse long enough to complete the double-click operation), you'll need to do some registry diving. Click the Start Button, select Run, then enter "REGEDIT" (without the quotes). Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Control Panel \ Desktop; look in the right pane. You should find two existing string values: DoubleClickWidth and DoubleClickHeight. You can change their values to suit your needs; the area is measured in pixels.
