Windows 10: Underline on file and folder names

All of my folders and file names are underlined -- how can I fix it?

Name a file with out underline

Welcome to TenForums.


The underilne is not the text of the name, rather it indicates that if you click on the file you will open it (same as a browser underlines links). This is normal behaviour if you have set File Explorer's folder options to 'Single click to open an item'. Set it for a double-click to open and the underline will disappear.

See this tutorial:
Open Items with Single-Click or Double-Click in Windows 10

 

Name a file with out underline

When I name a file, in View I see that the file name has been underlined. How can I name, rename or view a file without the underline?

This usually appear cause of depending on the folder settings. You can remove the underline by following these steps:

• Open Control Panel.
• Choose File Explorer Options (should be on Small icons view to see it).
• Under Click items as follows, click Underline icon titles only when I point at them or
  Double-click to open an item.
• Click Apply, then OK.
