This has me mystified....

Windows Server 2003 R2

When I am browsing folders in Windows Explorer, folder names in the left
pane are underlined. I don't want them underlined. I want to be able to
select multiple folders using the CTRL or Shift key, without expanding the
folder and displaying the sub-folders.
I thought the fix would be under Tools>Folder Options>Click Items as
Follows. But that has nothing to do with it.

How do I turn off that feature?

TIA

I've never seen a version of Windows where you can select
multiple folders in the left Explorer pane. Just the right
one. But then, I don't know about Vista and there's been
a little too much alcohol between now and 1992 to remember
how 3.1 worked.

I agree with Jordon here, I do not believe you can select multiple folders
in the left pane of the explorer windows.

Yup, you're right. I don't know what I was thinking... having a brain
cramp. Didn't sleep good the night before.
