| | select more files in windows I have Vista Home Premium with the latest updates. When I want to select two or more maps (or files) it simply won't happened using the Shift or Ctrl and the mouse click. Working with, for example, Indesign, itunes or any other application, it's not a ploblem at all to select more files in one time. Thank you for any help |

| | Re: select more files in windows See this note from Keith Miller, MVP. <quote> 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..." http://mysite.verizon.net/res18hr7/FixSingleSelect.zip Then extract the contents of the .zip file & run the script. </quote> -- Regards, Ramesh Srinivasan, Microsoft MVP [Windows Shell/User] Windows® Troubleshooting http://www.winhelponline.com "Villiboy." <Villiboy.@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:5E1C3BE5-801F-457A-84E3-C2E7740BE54F@xxxxxx I have Vista Home Premium with the latest updates.

I appreciate it! Very much! Thanx! Villiboy.
