This setting controls the amount of mouse movement allowed between clicks, for two consecutive clicks to be registered as a double-click.

Open your registry and find the key below.

Create two new string values named 'DoubleClickHeight' and 'DoubleClickWidth'. Set the these values to equal the size in pixels of the double-click area.

Logoff, or restart Windows for the changes to take effect.
