I am a new MacBook Pro user and I am having a hard time opening programs on my desktop when I double click on the icon. I found out that if you go to System Preferences -> Trackpad and lower the tracking speed, the double click responds better.

However, when I do this the mouse pointer moves really slow.

Does anyone know of way to get the double click to work better without sacrificing the pointer speed?

You can always manually adjust the double clicking speed.

OS X 10.7

The Double Click Speed option is under System Preferences → Universal Access → Mouse & Trackpad

OS X 10.6

The Double Click Speed option is under System Preferences → Trackpad.

Hi slhck, I am using Lion and there aren't any double click option settings there. With your help, I found that the double click settings are located under System Preferences -> Universal Access -> Mouse & Trackpad. Thank you for your help! – Robert Dec 23 '11 at 16:07
Ah, didn't know your OS X version. Added it to the answer. Thanks! – slhck Dec 23 '11 at 16:20
