Tips for selecting multiple files in Windows Vista

                  In previous versions of Windows such as Windows XP, to select multiple files or folders at a time in the Explorer, there are only two choices: 1. If the files are arranged in the Explorer, you can use Shift + Arrow keys are selected; 2. If the arrangement of the files is not continuous, you can only press and hold the Ctrl key, and then click on the file to be selected. In this kind of operation, if you accidentally click the wrong position of the mouse, it will be easy to cause The choice of disappearing, can only be re-selected from the beginning, very cumbersome, I believe many friends have had a similar experience.

The Resource Manager in Windows Vista provides a new option for this type of operation that requires multiple files or folders to be selected at the same time. A new feature is available in the Explorer: checkboxes can be used ( Checkbox) to choose, although friends who are accustomed to using Ctrl may not be suitable for such operations at the beginning, but once they adapt, they will find this simpler and more flexible, especially avoiding the Ctrl method. Pay attention to the weaknesses that have been abandoned.

Enabling checkbox functionality in Explorer

The checkbox feature in Explorer is turned off by default, but to enable it is fairly straightforward, just follow these steps:

First, open the "Tools" menu and select "Folder Options"; Note: In Windows Vista, the menu bar under most windows is hidden by default, don't look at it. I can't use the menu and think that the menu is canceled in Windows Vista. ^_^ Just press the Alt key to activate the menu.

Click on the "View" page in the "Folder Options" window;

In the advanced settings, pull the scroll bar to the bottom to see the "Use check box" Use check boxes) option, check it;

Finally, click OK to complete the setup.

Of course, after setting, you need to close the opened window and reopen it to enable this feature.
