Just realized in XP that I no longer can single click to open items.
Found the single click is 'grayed-out' in Folder Options and am stuck
with only double click. Must have made a change recently, but not
sufficiently knowledgeable to undo the dilemma. Help.

Maybe this registry tweak:

http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm
233. Enable Single Click to Open an Item
330. Restore Single Click Underline Icons

Or try clicking the "Restore Defaults" button.

Thanks, but I prefer the Classic Shell (and 'old stuff' like IE and OE6)
for my XP. Won't your suggestion lose that?
