Had you used the 'Apply to Folders' button found on the 'View' tab of the
Folder Properties dialog?
Here's a link to a script I've written that is designed to fix both the
'Bag' keys and the 'Streams\Default' key, which holds the settings for
template defaults. Right-click the link & select 'Save Target As...' You
can then extract the script file from the zip folder and run the script.

You can give it a try, though both of these keys are under HKCU. From what
you say, that all users are affected, it sounds like there might be a
problem under HKLM. You never created a custom default user profile, did
you?
If the script doesn't work for you, I'd really like to work with you via
e-mail to get a look at some registry exports from your machine as well as
gather more info regarding Vista version, OEM or self-install, installed
software, etc. No one seems to yet know what's causing this behavior to
appear.

Organize-->Select All is grayed out.
The solutions found on in numerous threads relating to the registry keys
for
Bags and Streams failed to fix this problem.
Also, this appears for all accounts on my computer.
Is there a fix for this problem?
