Annoying Folders Issue In Windows Vista

I'm not sure what the heck happened with windows explorer, but all my folders are severely messed up. I can't use the mouse to select all the files nor can I select all the files in a folder to delete them. I have to individually delete each file. Also, the columns bars are missing for each folder now. I've tried a folder reset, but they're still screwed when I change the settings to what they should be.My biggest problem right now is the file selecting. If this is an actual setting, then I'd like to shoot the moron who came up with the idea.Annoying Folders Issue In Windows Vista
Since a lot of software questions get answered here and we don't have a software forum...

Moved from OT to PC hardware :)Annoying Folders Issue In Windows Vista
Thanks! I was going to post here, except I felt it would be best in off-topic since this is not even software.Anyway, I solved the problem. I had to right click the properties of the drives, and customize them for Videos and Pics. Then enter the folder options and apply the setting to all folders. Finally, I had to redo the step again but set the properties to All Files instead of Pics and Vids. What an annoying bug. I found this out when browsing my folders and noticing that the ones with music or images weren't affected.They could probably make a TV series about Windows Vista. Call it OS County.
Glad to see you found a solution :)
