How to enable single click to open files?

  • 772

I have Ubuntu 13.10 installed with the default window manager and DE.

I am trying to enable single click so I can open files and folders with only one click. I tried googling and all results said to open Files, then go to Preferences from the top bar, but my top bar has no options.

Here is a picture of my desktop:
