How can you set the mouse in Windows XP so that you can just single-click
an icon to launch?

Open Folder Options...
Start | Run | Type: control folders | Click OK |
General tab | Under click item as follows Select: Single-click to open an
item (point to select) | Then select either Underline icon titles consistent
with my browser or Underline icon titles only when I point at them | Click
Apply | Click OK

Single-click to open an item (point to select)
[[Specifies that you want to open items in folders and on the desktop by
single-clicking them, just as you would click a link on a Web page. To
select an item without opening it, rest your pointer on it.]]

Underline icon titles consistent with my browser
[[Specifies that icon titles in your folders and on the desktop appear
underlined, like links on a Web page. For this to apply, verify that the
Underline links setting in the browser is set to Always or Hover, but not
Never.
To check the Underline links setting in the browser, open Internet Explorer,
click Tools, and then click Internet Options. On the Advanced tab, under
Browsing, find Underline links.]]

Underline icon titles only when I point at them
[[Specifies that icon titles in your folders and on the desktop appear
underlined only when you rest your pointer on the title. ]]
