Tim,
Thanks for your response. I think I may have been using the wrong
term. I like the normal windows taskbar on the bottom of the screen.
What has happened to me though is that my quick launch has grown so
large that I have put it at the bottom of the taskbar with the open
windows above it. The way I accidently click the quick launch icons is
that when I go to switch to another window, I overshoot the window
"tile" and hit a quick launch button instead. To solve this problem
initially, I moved the quick launch toolbar to the top of the screen and
set it to remain on top. However, some programs don't honor this and
end up behind the toolbar, which is very annoying.
I guess, if its not possible to modify the quick launch icons, that is
ok. I can live with it.
Thanks again for your response.

Is it possible, with a python program, to run through the task bar
icons and change them so that their current single-click event would
get transferred to a double-click event? I click them by mistake
sometimes and its very annoying to wait for the program to open just
so I can close it. I haven't been able to find a way to accomplish
this natively so I figured a python script set to run when my user
logs in and the windows extensions might do the trick.
In short, no. This requires an injectable window hook, and there is at
present no way to do that kind of window hook in Python.
How do you happen to click on these accidentally? Perhaps there are
other ways to solve this. For example, you can configure the taskbar so
that it hides itself unless you hover the mouse at the bottom of the
screen. Or, you can drag the taskbar to any other edge of the screen.
If you find yourself hovering around the bottom edge most of the time,
perhaps moving the taskbar to the top would solve that.
