How do I get Explorer to highlight or select only the filename and not the entire cell or row

I can't quite figure out the correct words, but in Vista when selecting files it highlights the entire row instead of just the filename. Sometimes the rows are too long and when selecting files Explorer will automatically scroll horizontally because the entire row is not visible. In XP it only did this when the filename wasn't visible. I'd like to know how to make it more like XP and select only the filename. This would make file operations a lot easier for me.
