Steven,
There are some good suggestions in there. The first two look very
feasible. Thanks for the advice, I will check them out.

That is better explained...I still don't think you could modify the
behaviour of the quicklaunch, but here are some suggestions:
1) Write a custom explorer toolbar. You may be able to use PowerPro
for this (http://powerpro.webeddie.com/)
2) Use Launchy or something like it instead of quicklaunch.
3) Write a python script to scan your quick launch dir, replace every
shortcut with a link to itself (with a customized icon), and launch
the intended program only when one of the new shortcuts is clicked
twice in short succession. (haha that should keep you busy).
4) Upgrade to Windows 7, which negates the need for a quicklaunch anyway.
5) Make your quicklaunch bar smaller, and use the little
double-arrow-menu as a pop-up quicklaunch instead of having all icons
showing.
Some of those might be helpful, some not.

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.
