I am having the exact same problem!


I cannot select multiple files at all. Not with the mouse, not with the
keyboard. Even the menu selection is grayed out.

Under the Organize menu it has New Folder, Cut, Copy, Paste, Undo, Redo,
Select All, .... Select All is grayed out.



This is the final version of Vista Ultimate from MSDN. It was not an
upgrade, I formated the drive during installation.


Any ideas anyone?
