Tick to select



If you find selecting multiple files using Ctrl+click cumbersome, turn on Vista's checkbox selection method:

Tap Alt to display the menu bar.
Click Tools -> Folder Options to display the Folder Options dialog box.
Click the View tab and in the Advanced Settings section tick Use Check Boxes To Select Items.
The change will affect all folders. As you move your mouse pointer over the files, you’ll see an unticked checkbox; click the file to select it. This is particularly useful on a notebook computer where making multiple selections using the built-in controls can be a real pain.



Make multi-file selection easier by enabling checkboxes.

Here’s a bonus tip: To make global changes to folder options without opening a folder, click Start, type control folders in the search box and press Enter.
