"Multiple select" problem in Vista.

Has anyone found a solution to the "multiple select" problem in Vista
yet? I'm referring to the inability to use "Shift-Select" and
"Control-Select" on groups of names or files in Vista without loosing
some of the selections.

I have never had this problem
Vista works in the same manner as XP,


can you elaborate?

If you're talking about the inability to select more than one item in a
folder, it's a quirk of a flag getting set in folder views, it's normally
only used for open/save dialogs to limit selection to one item. Here's a
script that will fix it:
