Add file selection checkbox for Win7 Explorer (1)

        We sometimes pick a lot of different files and folders in Win7 Explorer during work and study, and then do copy, move or delete operations. In many cases, whether sorted by time, name, type or size, the folders and files that you want to select may not be able to be arranged in accordance with our requirements, which can be cumbersome to operate.

This pair of computer old birds may not be a problem, hold down the "Ctrl" button to use the mouse to freely click on the selected object, hold down the "Shift" button and click the head and tail with the mouse to quickly select adjacent objects. However, this quick selection method for two-handed control is a bit more complicated for older users or people who are unfamiliar with this technique, and it is also prone to errors.

Below we introduce a setting trick of Win7 System Explorer, open "Use check box to select items", you can use the check box to help us easily select multiple files and folders.

Press the shortcut key "Win+E" or double-click the "Computer" icon, and click "Organization - Folders and Search Options" in the Win7 Explorer interface.

(Editor's note: If your Win7 system desktop does not have a familiar computer icon, please refer to "Show it out! Win7 desktop "computer" system icons".)

Select the "View" tab in the "Folder Options" settings panel, check "Use the checkbox to select items" and press the "OK" button.
