As soon as I had typed the original message I thought I might have made a mistake and that a thread headed “Comments” should really be used for comment rather than asking for help, so I did not keep an eye on your web page and have only seen your reply today. My apologies for not getting back to you sooner. “If a tree falls in a forest with no one to hear it, then does it make a sound?” Please leave a comment if you can – otherwise, I guess it’s better if I just stopped wasting my time. Hope today’s tech tip for the average joe was helpful.īy the way, on a personal note, I’m feeling a bit lonely! I’m not sure if I’m talking to an empty room or if anyone is actually finding my tips helpful. Programs such as Picasa photo manager by Google uses the same select keys.
Many windows applications work this way with CONTROL select and SHIFT select. Again, you can cut/copy to whereever you want. Now you’ve selected everything in between as well. Then scroll down to the last file you want to select with the SHIFT button still down. Assuming you’re still in detail view, hold down the SHIFT button, and then click the first file.Ģ. Now here is how you select a range of files:ġ. Now you can right-click again, and cut or copy the files to move/copy them to your desired destination.
Then while still holding down that button, select the second, third, etc. Hold down the CONTROL key on your keyboard, and select the first file.
First, go into ‘detail’ view by right-clicking anywhere in your folder, and then going to view > details (it’s the easiest way to view all your files if you have a lot)Ģ. As a matter of fact, if you click on the Windows XP Help section, and type in “select multiple files” you get zero results.Īnyways, here is how you do it to select just certain files.ġ. But then again, I think about how you can’t really know this unless someone told you, b/c it’s not like it’s very intuitive or written clearly in a manual somewhere. I’m surprised at how often I encounter people that don’t know how to select multiple files in their windows explorer folder without using their mouse awkwardly to try drag all the ones they want.
