Selecting multiple files/folders

spike96

Vista doesnt seem to allow me to select multiple files or folders by holding
ctrl or shift key. Other versions do. there are even times where the
"Select ALL" choice is not an option. can anyone tell me how to fix???

From MVP Keith Miller:

"It's a quirk of Explorer that's been showing up on some people's
machines. No known cause yet, but it gets saved with folder views once
it happens. I've written a script that helps MOST people with the
multi-select problem. It will remove single-select from saved folder
views & saved defaults. Right-click the link below & select 'Save Target
As..." -

Then extract the contents of the .zip file & run the script."
