I mean when you're inside the file dialog box. For example, if i want to
look inside of a directory, I'm required to click twice on the folder before
if will show me the contents. Then once I select a file, I'm required again
to click twice before the file will open. I should not that I'm using Office
2000, not 2003.

Do you mean in the file|open dialog or from a hyperlink on the worksheet?

I put a hyperlink on the worksheet and it just required a single click
(xl2003)--IIRC, it's ctrl-click in MSWord 2003.

And it was just one click in the File|Open dialog in excel 2003, too.

I guess I don't understand where you're clicking/double clicking on the file
name.

I have it set to that level, but once I'm inside of word or excell, you're
required to double click on a file name before it will open. Some other
windows programs allow a single click to open. Do you know if Word and
Excell allow it?

There's a windows setting (at least in WinXP) that you can toggle to make a
single click open the file.

Windows Start button|settings|control panel|Folder Options|General Tab
At the bottom of that dialog.

Is it possible to set the default to a single click when opening word and
excell files?
