Full row select in Win Explorer?

Is it possible to have full row selection in Windows Explorer?

By "full row selection" I mean that I can click anywhere on the row
(on the date for example) and the row is selected. At the moment I
have to click on the file name.

Are there really no registry hack or tweaks of any sort to permit
full row selection in Windows Explorer?

Yes just change the view to list.

Unfortunately "List View" does not give me full row select.

You can't do it. There is no setting. It's not that ListViews (the thing that displays the filenames) can't do it but that Explorer doesn't ask it to do it. You may be able to write a program and switch it on yourself. It only requires a message to be sent to the control.
