I recently upgraded from XP to Vista and for the most I really like the
improvements.

One thing that is annoying me is that if your folder view is details and you
have your mouse set to select when you hover your cursor over a file it will
select the file even if you hover over the size column or the type column etc.

In XP it would only select if you hovered over the name of the file. Is
there anyway to change this setting?
 
Wow, Kieth, thank you so much for those scripts!

Here are two scripts, one to clear full row select, the other to restore it:
