I am trying to help a handicapped person whose computer runs W95. Is there
a way in W95 to make the left mouse button open shortcut links with just one
click? I know you can do it in later Windows but there does not seem to be
a way to do it in W95.

Thanks.

Should I understand from the absence of replies that there is no way to do
this in W95? No utility?

I can't find anything in the Accessibility features that would allow that.

I'd suggest looking at your mouse driver, as I can program any of my old
Logitech's 3 buttons & wheel to be any of :

AutoScroll Click/Select Close Application Context Menu/Alternate Select
Copy Cut CyberJump *Double-Click* Drag Lock Explore My Computer
Find Computer Find Document Home Pointer HyperJump HyperMenu
Main Windows Help Maximize Middle Button Minimize Minimize All
Paste Recall application Run Scroll Bar Start Menu Task List
Unassigned Undo Undo Minimize All Universal Scroll
[Backspace] [Ctrl] [Delete] [Enter] [Escape] [F1] [F2] [F3] [F4] [F5]
[F6] [F7] [F8] [F9] [F10] [F11] [F12] [Page Down] [Page Up] [Shift]

If your friend does any Internet browsing, you might want to assign the double-click
to the right button instead of the left, or you may find a hundred assorted windows
opening up when all you wanted was the weather report. :)
