if you left click an icon once does it become highlighted.\n\nIf so there is nothing wrong with the left click of your mouse. \n\nIf you left click on it once and it becomes highlighted and you press enter, does the program open?\n\nIf yes, then you aren't double clicking (left clicking twice in a row, fast) fast enough. Remember you have to double click when you use the left mouse button (it wouldn't be the first time some has had to be told).\n\n(Assuming windows XP) if you want to turn on one click using the left mouse button do the following. START goto CONTROL PANEL.\nSWITCH to CLASSIC VIEW on the left hand side (if it's in catagory view else do nothing). Then open FOLDER OPTIONS (its also available on the TOOLS menu of any folder). where it says CLICK ITEMS AS FOLLOWS slect the option box titled SINGLE CLICK TO OPEN ITEMS (point to select), Click Apply And then OK.\n\nIf you don't want to enable single click, goto CONTROL PANEL, open MOUSE, in the 2nd box label marked DOUBLE CLICK  SPEED and adjust the slider towords slow. APPLY and OK.\n\nIf your left click button doesn't work you are going to have hard time using Windows and following the above instructions. in that case BUY A NEW MOUSE, they start at about $5 i think. \n\nIf you are in a finabcial bind borrow a mouse from someone, Goto CONTROL PANEL, gotot MOUSE. In the  1st box (BOX CONFIGURATION), check the check box marked SWITCH PRIMARY AND SECONDARY BUTTONS, APPLY and OK (you actually can just press OK everytime without worring about apply, but it's a safer option). When you're done give the persons mouse back and save for a new one.

First right click on an empty space of the taskbar goto toolbars and make sure that Quick Launch is checked. if it is and you still have no Show Desktop icon on the quick launch bar then you'll need to do this:\n1.) Open notepad and type the following text exactly\n\n[Shell]\nCommand=2\nIconFile=explorer.exe,3\n[Taskbar]\nCommand=ToggleDesktop\n\n2.) Save the new file as Show Desktop.scf\n\n3.) Drag the file's icon to the Quick Launch bar

use your mouse to place your arrow(cursor) in an 'open' place on the task bar - left click and hold\nthen "pull" down to the bottom of the screen - and release the left\nclick\n\nI believe this should realign your task bar

Your drivers are probably missing, but if they arent, then right click the desktop, go to the appearences tab, click effects, and uncheck show window contents while dragging

It may be just hiding.   You could create a new shortcut in programs files... Or you may need to go to the c/drive windows and make a new shortcut.\nE

It sounds like the shortcut has for some reason been redirected...\n\nThere are a couple of fixes, but unless you are confident at fixing via the registry, I would suggest using TweakUI to restore the function. Can be downloaded from Microsoft - link below.
