Charles wants to know how to use checkboxes in Windows 7
\n<\/strong>I just got a new computer with Windows 7 on it. I had Windows Vista and in one of your newsletters you had an article about using checkboxes to select files in Windows Explorer. I loved using those checkboxes. But now I have a new computer with Windows 7 and I don’t have that feature. My question is does Windows 7 have that feature and if it does how do I turn it on? I love your newsletters – I look forward to Fridays! Thanks.<\/p>\n

Our Answer
\n<\/strong>Thanks Charles. You’re in luck. Both Windows Vista and Windows 7 have the checkbox feature. Windows Checkbox feature is one our favorite features – it makes it easy to select just a few of a long list of files without having to hold down the CTRL key.<\/p>\n

Here’s how to turn on the checkboxes features in both 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! Using Checkboxes is a great way to select multiple files in Windows Vista and Windows 7.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
