How to disable full row select in Vista?

Zenphic · 16th Dec 2008, 11:58 AM

I was more used to how Explorer managed row selection in Windows XP, so I looked for a tweak to put it in Windows Vista.

Tweak was originally posted here I believe: How to disable Explorer full row selection : Windows Vista Desktop UI : Windows Vista IT Pro : Microsoft TechNet Forums

And a detailed page about the tweak: How to Disable Full Row Select Highlight in Windows Vista Explorer Details View My Digital Life

Same here. Now, if only Explorer had the "up to one level" button. That used to be so handy

Yeah, I miss the Up One Level button. They replaced it with the Back button, which has its pros and cons.

They used to have both up one level and back button.

I miss that a lot.

is there a shortcut for "Up One Level"?

At least you can still click on the folder that's one level up in the adress bar.

I hate the changes on Windows Explorer. When they release Windows 95, Windows Explorer improvement over the old Windows 3.1 was really extremely significant.

I hate the removal of up one level button, and there's no easy way to jump to Desktop, especially if you are in sub-sub-sub-sub folder.

Alt + Up I think. A bit more tedious than a simple button though.

Desktop isn't too bad. You just need to click the little arrow next to the icon in the address bar for a drop-down menu to select desktop.

What I hate is how useless the clickable folders in the address bar becomes when the folder's name is longer than the address bar. Then, only one folder is shown
