One minor example is the left pane in Windows Explorer. Under
XP, clicking on a directory name resulted in the directory
contents being displayed in the right pane. This made it quick to
navigate a path. Under 7, one has to double-click each time. It
slows navigation. Why the change?
Um... single-click works for me in Windows Explorer left pain in Win 7.
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...
