It's Hard to Use Just One
Tried AppRocket once... liked it at first, then it got annoying and left my system. When I found FFR [Find and Run Robot], I was in love at first sight and I still consider it one of the most useful apps I've ever found. I start programs so much faster with it, it's great.  Just installed ClipBoard Help + Spell AND Process Tamer. I'm becoming a sucker for DonationCoder software. It's that good.

Tools for double-click phobia: Bump-n-Run

blog clipart
'Bump-n-Run' puts a thin line, 1 pixel wide down the top left edge of the screen. You dont have to be very accurate with this
- Simply 'bump' a icon into the top left edge of the screen and away she goes.
- drag a file in windows explorer, bump left edge and the file will execute.
and a bonus
- bump mouse agaist left edge, and a button menu of last eight 'Bump-n-Run' is shown,in history order, allowing quick 1 click access.

Bump-n-Run.exe 
Bump-n-Run v1b.ahk

Forum reader DanD asked this question on our forum recently:

My attempts to double-click on an icon don't always work -- my hand may move too much, or the clicks are too far apart, or I actually only clicked once after all. But I never have problems dragging an icon and dropping it.  It would be nice to have an "Open" or "Run" icon on my desktop so that I can open documents or run applications just by dragging their icons and dropping them on the "Open" or "Run" icon.

This post shows how fun donationcoder can be - three different solutions to the problem were implemented using small ahk scripts, including one by skrommel that did exactly what Dan asked for, and then this one by db which works a little differently..
