You know how you have to hold down the CTRL key to select multiple files in Windows? If you know what I mean, you also know that if you don’t keep the CTRL key pressed down while selecting all the files, and let go of the CTRL key, even for a second, you have to start all over again. That means re-selecting that long list of files you just spent 15 minutes selecting before you messed up.<\/p>\n
But, digiknow that Windows Vista and Windows 7 has a feature that lets you turn on checkboxes in the Windows Explorer interface so that you can simply select files by checking the box? It’s true.<\/p>\n
Here’s how to turn on the checkboxes features in Windows Vista and Windows 7:<\/p>\n
1. Open Windows Explorer (Press the Windows key + E or click or open your start menu and click “Computer”)<\/p>\n
2. Click on the Organize button at the top left of the Explorer interface<\/p>\n
3. Select Folder and Search Options from the next menu and choose the View tab<\/p>\n
4. Scroll down and you\u2019ll see the option \u201cUse check boxes to select items\u201c. Check that option and then click Ok.<\/p>\n
You should now see check boxes at the top-left of a folder whenever you hover over it. There you go! A great way to select multiple, non-contiguous files in Windows Vista and Windows 7!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This tip is for Windows Vista and Windows 7 … You know how you have to hold down the CTRL key to select multiple files in Windows?
