Title: Windows Won't let me Select more than one item at a time in windows vista?

okay, so you all know how you can move your mouse over several files and select them by holding in the left mouse button, or use ctrl + click, go to the "edit" Menu and click "select all". well, Windows Vista Won't let me do that, but only on my account, it works fine on other accounts. I Had the same problem several months ago and I got fed up with it to the point where I just made a new account and moved all my files over. that fixed the problem. but no it came back. if I try to go to the edit menu and click "select all" it won't let me because it is greyed out. I haven't changed anything. I don't want to have to go through creating a new account again because I have ALOT of files on my profile. I tried searching for anyone else who had the same problem, but nothing. it doesn't stop when i restart my computer. I've tried resetting all of the folder settings but that didn't fix it. I Have windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit, if that has anything to do with it.

Look at reply #3. Other posters said that the script solved their problem.

Best of luck.
