Well there was a Freudian slip!

I hate the Win 7 Windows Explorer.

I have no use for "libraries", and while I can make them go away

permanently in the full Windows Explorer app, they still show up and

get in my way in all of the file dialogs that are based on it.

And Win 7 took the "pay as you go" strategy too far. You can turn on

the status bar but the thing won't tell me how much space I have left

or several other things it would display in XP. And the display is so

dog-slow that between the time when I open the window and when I zero

in the mouse on something to click on in the left pane, the treeview

adds more nodes, so I end up clicking on the wrong thing. I literally

have to wait a couple of seconds now for the display to fully update,

on a machine that is much more powerful than my XP box was, where

Windows Explorer provided a fully-updated display instantly. (Not

that I think the Linux GUIs I'm familiar with are any better; in

fact, they are worse.)

But, yeah, single-click in the left PANE does work...
