Not me.  I can't imagine that this has anything to do with VRPC; it's
Windows that's translating "double click" into "do the run action for the
thing defined by the shortcut icon".

However I can imagine that there might be something with the shortcut
definition.

If you navigate to the VRPC program, then make a fresh shortcut to it (which
I presume is possible if it's like XP - right-click the program and choose
Create shortcut, or Send To desktop as a shortcut), does the new shortcut
work?

On the times when a double-click doesn't work, if you wait a few seconds
does anything happen at all?  

Is it only VRPC this happens with?  (I might suspect a failing mouse button,
or mouse driver problem if it happens elsewhere.)

Do you have any extra mouse software, eg provided by the mouse vendor?

Do you do a proper shutdown of VRPC first?
