Vista, is just so unreliable. Until I can put Ubuntu or XP back on my laptop, I can atleast make Vista work a little better for me. First thing to go is the full row select in folders. I only want to select a file if I click on it in the name column, not anywhere in the row. Here is the fix: disablefullrowselect.

.I found this on vistax64.com Enjoy.

Instructions:

  1. Kill all explorer.exe
  2. run the script
    1. start the task manager from ctrl-alt-delete
    2. file>New Task (Run…)
    3. browse to the where you stored the file, select it
    4. run it by clicking OK
  3. log off windows
  4. log back in
