Default Trouble with multiple file selection in Vista Explorer

Hello everyone,

After some time of using Vista suddenly, I couldn't select multiple files in
Explorer either holding shift or ctrl. Any ideas how could I fix it?

I suspect Vista Manager tweaker has done this nut job, however Registry
doesn't allow to view the dates of hanges in it, so I couldn't be sure it is
Vista Manager.

Thanks in advance,

Vlad

Hi Vlad,

See this note from Keith Miller, MS-MVP.

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.

Thank you, guys. Works.

As fars as I see it fixes registry at
Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer \Streams\Defaults
I think it's a registry value change issue.


Thanks once more.

With best regards, Lord Vladimir Fedorov.
