creating or pasting a directory in Windows Explorer

Hi,
In Windows explorer, if you point to a file on the right side of the screen,
it will highlight the whole row where you will see the size, type and other
information about the file. Windows XP did not have this. If there are a lot
of files there, it makes it difficult to paste a file/directory or create a
new directory by using the right mouse button to do the tasks. Is there a way
to turn off this "Highlight"Feature? Thanks.
