Select multiple files or folders

Select multiple files or folders without using the keyboard

You can set up Windows to add check boxes to file views (see picture) to make it easier to select several files at once. This gives you the option to select files without having to press keys on your keyboard, and helps ensure that you won't accidentally lose your file selection if you click the wrong location.

   

Open a Folder, click the Organize button, click "Folder and Search Options", click the View tab, select the Use check boxes to select items check box, and click OK.
