was no help - but that could well be the Achilles' heal of search; wording
things properly when you have no idea what it might be called :-)

I don't know about the hover and select part of your post, I'm assuming that you are mistaking it for single-click select. Try this: bring up Windows Explorer (use the window key on your keyboard and the E key). Tools/Folder Options. Change to double-click to open an item.
