Double vs. single click

[pmennen]

I'm using Total Commander CE 2.0 on a PocketPC 2003 PDA.
To open a folder, I can just touch the folder name with the
stylus and that folder is opened. However on a coworker's PDA
(identical) I have to double click on the folder name to get it
to open. Is this a mode? If so, how do I change it?

One other question while I am here:
When I want to delete a bunch of files, I click on "Ctl"
and then click individually on each file name I want to
delete. Each file that I click on gets added to the list
of files that are highlighted (reverse video). When all
the files are selected, I press the delete button, and it
does what I want. However often I want to delete an entire
range of files. In that case clicking on each file individually
is inefficient. Is there a way to highlight a range of files
like one can do in windows XP (using shift-click).

Sorry for the long winded way of asking the question, but
I didn't know how else to make my question clear.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions you may have.

This can be changed in the Show->About/Settings dialog box (Single click start checkbox).

You still can use Shift+tap. (For PDAs tap is used instead of click ). Your PDA should have either usual or virtual keyboard, so, tap the first file, press Shift, then tap the last file. Or (more convenient way): just press Ctrl+A. You can look in the help file (File -> >>>> -> Help or just Ctrl+H) to learn more about hotkeys.

You can also drag a rectangle around the files (the drag must start outside of the file names), or use the menu item "Select/Unselect files" in the "Show" menu to select specific file types.

Thanks.

Both responses were very useful.
Makes a great program even better

However there's one thing that's bothering a little: when the Ctrl mode is active, dragging a rectangle removes all previously made selections, so I can't use the reactangle in conjunction with Ctrl (only if one and only one rectangle selection is made at the beginning of the entire selection process).
