Every time I want to delete a file, a single click immediately responds. I used to have to DOUBLE click before deleting.
I can't find how to change back to double click and, to my knowledge, have never altered anything to make Windows act in this way.

Anyone out there have the solution ?
I am sure the answer is simple !

the problem I have is that a single (L) click deletes a file immediately, whereas I used to have a 'box' asking me to confirm (before deleting).
Sorry about that - you must think me an idiot!

Just what I wanted - sorry for earlier confusion.
