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.

Thanks. Applied 233 and find the only double click is opening an email in OE6. However, the single click remains grayed-out in Folder Options. My memory tells me that previously I had access. Any thoughts?

A single click of an email will highlight the email and, if you press F8 to show the preview below the listing of email headers. Whether that display is off or on, to my recollection, it always takes a double-click to open an email from the header. Try an OE newsgroup for more suggestions. -- Joe =o)

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