WinExplorer restricts me to select only 1 file per time, even w Ct

Vista Ultimate's Windows Explorer has suddenly restricted me from using
SHIFT, Ctrl or Ctrl-A to select more than one file at a time in folders that
I set up myself. I have administrator privileges, but I don't know what to
do. (deleting a whole bunch of files one at a time is more than a little
tedious).

What might I do to fix this, or get around it? How on earth did I cause this
to happen? (I'm the only person using this computer).

From MVP Keith Miller:

"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..."

Then extract the contents of the .zip file & run the script."
