There always seems to be a delay when I double-click on
an icon on my desktop of Windows XP. It's been happening
more frequently. I don't have the computer networked and
it seems as if it affects ALL programs, not just any
particular one.

One possiblity could be your anti-virus software. If it is checking all programs prior to allowing them to start. If that is the problem, you can most likely turn-off that real-time checking in the anti-virus program's options.
