Cannot open properly multiple files in Windows Explorer

[Guest]

Hi:

My problem is the following:

I open multiple files (i..e txt or pdf) at the same time in Windows Explorer
under Windows XP Professional SP2 and what happens that before executing the
respective executables such as a plain text editor or acrobat reader, etc it
appears the move file dialog before doing so several times which is a pain in
the neck.

I tried several registry hacks from forums but none of them worked.

Any smart technical person had had this problem before and solved the problem?

Cheers

Carlos

See if this registry tweak works:
