Windows: Single-click Open File
Double-click is from the 1990s. It should be ban'd. Here's how to setup single-click to open files.
You need to stick with it for a week. I first tried it for few days, got annoyed, switched back. But after a month i gave it another try, and this time stick with it. Now i've been using single-click for 10 years, am happy with it.
To turn on single-click in Windows, just go to Control Panel, Folder Options.
Press ❖ Window+r, then type “control panel” to open it.

Double click “File Explorer Options”

Turn on checkbox for selecting files.
