Desktop apps are not opening by single click

Hey Team,


My Desktop Folders were not opening by single click, But i can open system apps by single click.

when i click on my desktop folders nothing opens but it was opening few days back. i need to open like click two fingers and then i need to select the open. and also i need to press command 'O".


Kindly do the needful.


Thanks and Regards.
