To launch a program from my desktop I must high-light the icon, right
click and select "open" from the pop up menu. Even recently installed
programs force me to right click.  I would like to launch a program by
simply left clicking.

Hi sunfire,

What OS are you using?

Also, have a look here:
Start / Settings / Folder Options / Click Items as Follows / 

Check mark: Single Click to Open an Item

The OS is Windows 2000 Professionsl.  Your comments did the trick. Thank you.

Hi sunfire, thank you for the good news - I'm happy to hear you no
longer need to go through such a long routine just to open a program!

Thank you,
hummer

No internet search was required, rather I looked around in several
options menus on my computer instead.

Hi,

Can you try going to the mouse options under the control panel and see
what left click is assigned to?

Thanks.
