[WIP] FullRowSelect disable - testing
Hi,
There are many methods found for disabling FullRowSelect in the explorer. They have serious drawbacks. I decided to investigate an with trial and error try to find a method that works.
This will apply only to normal folder types that are in Detail view. (not libraries, control panel, desktop etc)
This is what I have so far. I tested it on new user profiles. I ask you to test it too.
Thx.
Method:
1) first run this script (affects only the user part of the registry)
2) press CTRT+SHIFT+ESC: kill all explorer processes
3) Still in TaskMgr in the menu File > Run > Explorer
4) Open a Explorer and goto C:\WINDOWS (not My Computer or C:\) and in the menu (use ALT)
Tools > Folder Options > View > Click "Reset Folders" and "Apply to Folders"
Info FOLDERFLAGS enumeration: FOLDERFLAGS enumeration (Windows)
You can use this reg file to get it working, together with the above instructions.
Save content between the lines below to a text file an call it NoFullRowSelect.reg

;Tell explorer that we don't want fullrow select (dunno if you need this per se)

;Tell explorer that every folder is Generic by default, you can change foldertype later per folder

;Docs about this are hard to find. FFlags are folder flags. We have excluded fullrow select anyway I guess
