Until Windows Vista, the Explorer used ListView control in folders to display icons. Later it was changed to IconView. ListView control looks more classic: the selected icons are shaded rather than selected with huge rectangle, the table captions are more compact and it allows to manually re-arrange icons. There are two methods of changing the used control. 1. Using registry only. This method is descrobed here: www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/92758-windows-explorer-auto-arrange-disable.htmlAdvantages: * No resident programs * No third-party software Disadvantages: * Does not work for all folder types (such as zip archives) 2. Using Folder Options X utility : check "enable icon reordering". Advantages: * Works for all folders reliably * Allows to implement other options as well, such as "Disable full row select" which also brings Classic behavior. Disadvantages: * The program module becomes resident in memory. 3. Thanks to @techsalt below. Import the following reg file: [-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\CLSID\{1eeb5b5a-06fb-4732-96b3-975c0194eb39}\InprocServer32]
@=""
Advantages: * Works for all folders * Works in open/save dialogs * No resident programs Disadvantages: Not known. |

Found another way to enable ListView in explorer.
This also works for ZIP files and shell dialogs.
Advantages:
No resident programs
No third-party software
Does not turn the Tiles view into Extended Tiles
Works on all file formats
Works on shell dialogs
Disadvantages:
Did not find any
Rename the CLSID {1eeb5b5a-06fb-4732-96b3-975c0194eb39} to something else, might appear twice
You might need to restart all programs to affect

It would be great if we knew a similar method of removing Ribbon, so that we would not need any more OldNewExplorer (which is abandoned).

Wanted to mention, it is under HKCR, not HKCU.

I have made 2 registry files that simplify the process of enabling/disabling SysListView32 (using @techsalt method) SysListView32 Enabler: files.catbox.moe/kfr9x4.regSysListView32 Disabler: files.catbox.moe/3c2eo5.regNote that for the first import of the enabler, you will need to either take ownership of the registry keys inside of it, or import it using TrustedInstaller |

It is now a part of Explorer Patcher functionality and also there is a Windhawk mod.

ExplorerPatcher's implementation doesn't seem to enable SysListView32 for Wow64 (32-bit) applications

ExplorerPatcher's implementation doesn't seem to enable SysListView32 for Wow64 (32-bit) applications I think, it uses the same registry method. In Open/save dialogs the control used is SysListView32 (just tested with WindHawk Electron IDE). |

Yes, it uses the registry method. But, there are 2 places from where you have to delete the CLSID. One is for the 64-bit apps, and one is for the 32-bit apps, and it seems that ExplorerPatcher only deletes the 64-bit one. But maybe it was fixed now.

If this is the case, please report to its Github.

The problem with syslistview is that it's very hard to select multiple files without actually moving them, it's just a broken feature in Windows 7 and above.

I can't be the only one facing this problem.
See, without systlistview I place the cursor anywhere between two icons and draw a selection rectangle. No problem...
But with syslistview it's almost impossible to find a spot between two icons without accidentally selecting the icon left or right of the cursor. Drawing a selection rectangle is almost impossible (in THIS particular case it would be easy to move the cursor right beneath the icons, with plenty of free space below but that's not always the case).
(hopefully these links work)

Hmm, I never thought about it. Just tried.
It is possible to select this way. But indeed, it sometimes can be difficult. But there is always a vertical gap between the rows
This way you can always easily select.

Hmmm, not that easy though.
There is also a horizontal gap between two icons (even though I couldn't find it in the video) so it is possible, but not much fun to do.
The vertical gap doesn't seem to be much bigger than the horizontal one.

For me, the vertical gap is big but I should note that the both gaps are defined in Window Metrics registry area and depend on the current color scheme.
