Open any program with a single click

In Windows XP, if you click Start, hold down the mouse button, and drag the pointer to the program you want to run, that program will launch as soon as you release the mouse button. It doesn't matter how deep you have to go to locate your program. All you have to do is keep that mouse button down until you reach your program.

If you prefer to start your programs from icons on the desktop, go into My Computer/Tools/Folder Options and change to a Single Click To Open Folders. Note: If the option is greyed out, you are using Classic View which requires a double click. Change to the default XP behaviour and then choose Single Click.
