    File Explorer somehow changed to all hyperlinks


    I have no idea how it changed, but I want it back to normal where I have to double click to open a file. Everything is now a hyperlink and I use a wireless keyboard with a touchpad rather than a separate mouse and I am constantly opening files by mistake. Even files I place on the desktop are all hyperlinks. It is maddening...

    Open Items with Single-Click or Double-Click in Windows 10

    Check File Explorer Options in Control Panel:

    Thank you very much, that fixed it. I wasn't looking in the right place to find the options.
