Double-clicking/Double-tapping -
This is a common skill for launching a program directly from
the corresponding icon you select. Move the pointer over the icon you wish to execute, press the left
button or tap the pad twice in rapid succession, and the system launches the corresponding program. If
the interval between the clicks or taps is too long, the operation will not be executed. You can set the
double-click speed using the Windows Control Panel “Mouse.” The following 2 examples produce the
same results.
