I have looked absolutely everywhere, and cannot find a solution to this problem. Ive tried everything related to simple settings in Internet File Explorer, but I cant select files in between two check marks like I was able to do before. The only thing I haven't done that was suggested was to do a HKEY registry edit. Which strikes me as dangerous and suspicious.

Please help...

Click the tick boxes = just wanted that one
