In order to select
multiple files for an operation such as copying, moving or deleting in
Windows Explorer, we generally, Ctrl-clicking every file you want to
select.But if you're mouse-centric, there's a way to select multiple files in Windows 7 using only your mouse, via check boxes.
To enable this:
- In Windows Explorer, click Organize, and then select "Folder and search options."
- Click the View tab.
- In Advanced Settings, scroll down and check the box next to "Use check boxes to select items." Click OK.
From now on, when you hover your mouse over a file in Windows Explorer, a check box will appear next to it; click it to select the file. Once a file is selected, the checked box remains next to it; if you uncheck it, the box will disappear when you move your mouse away.
