Hello All,
When I double click an application/file in the finder then instead of opening the application, it highlights the name of the appliation/file (like it thinks we want to change the name of the application/file). I always have to right click or (control+click) to open the application/file.
Can you please advise on how I can change it back to double click to open an appliation.
Thanks for your help in advance.

Aki,

Click on the icon, not the file name.
