Adobe Acrobat opening on a single mouse-click

So I was recently given a someone else's computer at work and I use pdf's  a ton. However I am having this problem where the pdf opens in only a single mouse click. So when I go to select that pdf file to move it somewhere else or save a new version of the pdf by clicking on the name, it opens automatically. Wouldn't be such a big problem if I didn't have to deal with it all day. It is only pdf files and nothing else. FYI I'm using Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard v. 9.5.5.

Looking around on the internet, I couldn't really find much. There was was this post from a few years ago where someone else had a similar problem but it was never answered. So how can I fix this issue?

Sorry, I'm out of ideas, but I highly doubt this has anything to do with Acrobat...


I did a little more research into this and found it has to do with the file management system we are using (EPDM). Fix can be found here.

This is a setting of the operating system, not of Acrobat.

I don't think so. I checked my settings in the Control Panel and under Folder Options / General and it is set to "double-click to open an item (single click to select)". Unless there is another place?

Check the Mouse settings... Maybe the double-click speed is very high and you're accidentally double-clicking it or something.
