Don't get me wrong, I love this program.
but the marquee select still doesn't work
[works in xp, not in W7 x64].
WinExplorer allows marquee selection in both OS's...I really miss this feature !
New Version - still missing marquee

If what you mean is lasso selection ...
it works for me on w7 x64.
You just have to start the lasso marquee from whitespace.
There is a minor difference in details view in that ...

- on XP the few empty pixels to the left of the item icon are treated as whitespace for initiating the lasso,
but on w7, they are not -- which is an oversight (buglet) on the developer's part because those blank pixels were created specifically for having a place to start lasso selection in details view when the rest of the pane is filled with stuff.
In the interest of clarification, Marquee Selection is the posh name for Marching Ants, wherein:
, I'll be the first to stand up and say I had to look up the term Marquee Selection having never heard it before - and that being said, I much prefer the colloquially demotic and autocthonously vernacular "Marching Ants" instead. 
It's just so much more in touch with the common man. 
Unfortunately, just to spoil the fun, under the Win7 Aero theme the ants do not actually march, instead the pixels enter a state closer to resembling the eyes of an alcoholic as he calculates the emotionally opaque occlusion of a long dark walk home in the pouring rain.)

(And having recently been persecuted for being pretentious around hereThe [selection] border is a dotted or dashed line where the dashes seem to slowly walk sideways and up and down. This creates an illusion of ants marching in line as the black and white parts of the line start to move. Some prefer the term marquee selection, as effect resembles the chaser lights of a marquee, and this term can be considered a synonym.
