This is by far the DUMBEST most backwards explorer 'enhancement' ever. What the F were you thinking? Seriously who the hell thought it would make things better to select a whole row when you click a file? And then for it to make it into the final product? What the hell is the benefit to having this at all? You lose the ability to right click save for bare space that you have to hunt for or resize the window a tiny tiny bit and you can ctrl click + drag select multiple files anymore in list view. You now lose the option of having transparency and all the pretty vista logo and basically EVERYTHING that is making vista a nice looking GUI and go back to looking like Server 2003 base.īUT you can at least select multiple files with the mouse. The one where it says to use visual styles and uncheck it. Go to the performance options and scroll down to the last check box in the list. But there is a way to disable it with a single click (well once you get there. If you want to drop items into a sorted folder & have them assimilate into the sort order automatically, drop them on the Titlebar, Toolbar or the Details pane of the target folder rather than into the listview control itself. Simply dragging an item out of sort order puts the folder in this custom mode and, apparently, so does dropping files/folders into it. In Vista, it works in all view modes and the order is retained when switching between modes, but will be lost if you click on a column header & trigger a sort.
Also under XP, the custom order would be lost when switching view modes.
This was present in XP under Thumbnail, Icon, and Tile views - but not under List or Details. It doesn't help neimadsito, selection rectangle behavior is still different from XP.īut what you're describing is the 'feature' of Explorer now able to remember a custom user order (set by dragging & dropping) in addition to sort orders. My script does revert detail columns to behaving like folder background, which is what he wanted.
