Idea: Toggle Windows Mouse single/double click to open in Explorer
MilesAhead:
I've changed from the default double-click to single-click for opening items in Explorer. The bad side-effect is that holding down shift and clicking doesn't select a row of stuff anymore. You have to deal with individual check marks.
What I'd like to see is a quick toggle, perhaps with a selectable hotkey, that changes between single and double click mode. So I can toggle to double-click mode, select a bunch of items using Shift click etc.., then when done, toggle back to Single-click mode.
Could be the best of both worlds. I know where the setting is in the Explorer menus but I don't know the registry keys that control it to attempt it myself.

I suspect the fly in the ointment would be log off to take effect unless I pushed the buttons with macro. If you use the GUI it knows enough to reload the settings. If you update the registry I doubt it's smooth.

btw thanks for the link to that tool. I'll be checking it out. :)

You can do this, just hover the mouse for about a half a second without moving above an item. This acts as clicking, so you can use the usual modifiers like Shift, Ctrl, or Shift-Ctrl for making contiguous and/or non-contiguous selections. It requires some practice, though. I'm using this setting for years, it's quite handy.
