Your task is to choose one of these two options.

If you choose the first option, File Explorer will add an underline under each file name. If you choose the second option ( Underline icon titles only when I point at them ) it will only underline the file name when the mouse pointer is hovering over the file. This is the best option for users because it doesn't clutter the files.

Finally click Apply to complete the process.

Now, you can open files and folders quickly on Windows 10 with just one click using shortcuts, custom context menus or AutoHotkey. These methods help optimize operations and save time when working on the computer.
