WTF? Left-click quickstart icons, gives me icon properties?!

furnace · 14 Mar 2007 at 19:11

On my laptop, whenever I left click an icon the quick start thing next to the Start button, I don't get the application, I get the icons properties! Wtf.

I have to right click -> open on the shortcuts to get them to work!

Any ideas?

Switched buttons, i.e. it's now setup for a left handed person. Check in control panel or maybe the touchpad config utility.

I don't think it has, because the left click works normally on everything else. Plus left click doesn't give me the right-click-menu, it just goes straight into the properties :S

Press your CTRL, alt and shift buttons a few times, windows sometimes goes funny like this.

Edit:- its the alt button. tap it a few times, and this will go away
