Suppose you want to select some folders or files
simultaneously in Windows 7 or Vista. In that case you have to use the mouse to drag a rectangle
around the items or combine the mouse with Ctrl/Shift key. But Microsoft has
added a new feature in Windows Vista/7, which it makes very easy to select
multiple items. The new feature is to add a Check Box next to each file or
folder in Windows. You have already used Check Boxes in Windows’s forms or
Internet pages. This trick is about how to active Check Box feature in Windows
Vista/7 to choose multiple items.
For this:
1. On the Start Menu’s search box, enter Folder Options and
hit the Enter.
2. In Folder Options window, go to View tab.
3. In Advance settings list, look for Use check boxes to
select items and select it, and then click on OK button.
Now whenever you move mouse on any folder or file, you will
see a check box next to it. You can select any item that you want just by
clicking on these boxes. Similarly, you can simply select multiple files or
folders at the same time.
