Too much talking. The idea of eliminating double click seems reasonable. The main problem is speed. Windows became very slow and big.

It's interesting but there have been an option in Windows to open folders / files with one click since XP at least.

I think Web-style navigation was introduced as an option in Windows 98, along with Active Desktop. Back then, Microsoft envisioned merging local file system and web browsing in Explorer, a direction they later reversed when the IE/Windows lawsuit hit.

It's been there since the version of Windows 98 that came bundled with IE. I remember using the setting.
