re: Question about 'How do get the taskbar and desktop back if Explorer crashes' Thursday, January 26, 2006 at 3:48 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by GundamMon (1 messages posted) I believe I've found an answer.

If you go into your "My Computer" folder, go to "Tools" and then "Folder Options," pick "Single-click to open an item." Every file on your computer now acts like a hyperlink, as opposed to double-clicking. I changed it about ten minutes ago as an experiment, and it seems to be holding for now...
