Make folder window stop finding files

A feature of a folder window is that if you type a letter the cursor will jump to a filename that starts with that letter. This messes with a macro activation I wish to use (in Marco Express) where a set of hot keys starts up my macro. Does anyone know how to make the folder window stop jumping to a different filename as I type letters? Roger

Can't be stopped. There must be other ways to launch your "macro" ?

You need to use key combinations, not single keys, otherwise you'll always be running 
into problems.

Yes there are other ways to launch the macro and yes I understand that typically you use key combinations rather than single keys - but in this particular instance I need to launch my macro with one hand so I was hoping to use a unique set of hot keys that couldn't be confused with anything else. I was hoping that behavior could be stopped, but if it can't then it can't. Thanks anyway
