Re: Search and deleting files in Vista

You're welcome. The script is a registry hack -- a very precise one.

The values found here:

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...08(VS.85).aspx

correspond to the registry value named "FFlags" found under the saved folder
views in:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local
Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags]

It is the FWF_SINGLESEL flag which somehow gets set for folders when it
shouldn't. My script clears this flag for all the saved folder views, as
well as the user-defined templates found here:

[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams\Defaults]

You could certainly examine all the values one-by-one and manually edit the
errant ones -- or go for overkill & delete all the subkeys of the above,
which would wipe out all saved views. I wrote the script so that those two
options could be avoided
