I try to select all files in a folder with CTRL+A but it doesn't work, any
way to solve this?

Highlight one file. Then press ctrl/A

Hi André,

See:

On a Windows Vista-based computer, you cannot use keyboard shortcuts to select more than one item in Windows Explorer:

Also, read this note from 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.

Ramesh.

Your script worked.............thanks for taking the time to share it.

I guess I'll chalk this up to a lack of the WOW attribute in vista ultimate.

Now if they would only make win explorer keep the same view as I set instead
of going off and randomly doing its own thing,

Again thanks
