Hi,
Same debilitating problem on my Toshiba laptop with Vista Home Premium with
the impossibility to select multiple files or folders. I do believe that in
my case the headers were still visible. I regained my sanity with the
following:
Folder Options > View tab > Reset all folders
Answer YES to the following pop up
Click OK for Folder Options to close
I then did what was advised in a discussion group which I read and proceeded
to close Windows Explorer and opened it again, and to my relief the ability
to select multiple files/ folders was restored. I didn't need to fidget with
something in the registry, thanks for that!!!
Please note that these operations were performed after I had Aero
neutralized, since I read that it was problematic. Maybe you'll be able to
breath again, I hope so.
A bug that annoying in something so central as Windows Explorer deserves to
be called a dragonfly or a bumblebee
