Click and drag your cursor near one or more icons to highlight it, then click on any icon and the number of icons you highlighted will move.

Oh that's what you ment! Ok go to Control panell>Appearence and themes>folder options. then select 'Single click to point to an item'. Hope that helps

Thanks Alex,  I rolled back the touchpad driver, I assume it reset things to the default, which would be the same as what you suggested. Thanks Alan
