Windows Explorer - Selecting Files

[Guest]

Helllo,

since I have installed Vista Business I can only select 1 file or folder in
the Explorer. How can I select more files in right pane?

best regards

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.

Thanks for your replay - but that does not work too. I get the columns with
the checkboxes but in that case too I can select only 1 file at a time.

I have found a VB script file 'FixSingleSelect' in that community which
changes some settings (so far I understand) and now it works.

Thanks a lot and best regards.
