I agree with this rethoric, and I am not also using single-click just to give it swing. But how am I supposed to select an item. When I delete a file I have so far just clicked to select it (double-click behaviour), and press 'del'. When I try this now it open the file/folder. The only I could figure out how to select it was by dragging a rubberband over the icon. Which makes sense for several icons, but not for just one. I also tried holding down the button some longer, but this doesn't have the desired effect. -A.
