You know that if you need to select multiple files or folders in Windows explorer the best way to do that is to hold down the Ctrl key and then click on those items, right.
Well, this method is fine, except that a lot of times we tend to drop our finger from the Ctrl key or mistakenly click somewhere else on the screen and all of our selected files go unselected, which is obviously annoying.
Windows 7 users can try another option. It’s a simple but cool feature that can turn out to be very useful as well. Well, as you can guess from the title of this post, I am talking about using checkboxes to select items in Windows explorer.
Let us see how we can enable this feature.
1. Open Windows explorer by typing explorer in the start search bar. You can also do this by opening Docs, Calculator, or any other file navigation interface that uses Windows explorer.
2. On the top navigation bar, click Organize -> Folders and search options.
3. On the Search and Folder Options window, click the View tab at the top, scroll down to the Advanced Settings pane (where you see all sorts of checkboxes), and check the box that says “Use checkboxes to select items.” Then, click OK.
4. Now you will find that whenever you hover your mouse pointer over any file or folder in Windows explorer, it will automatically create a checkbox to help you select that file or folder.
Hope the above method will help you to be more productive when using your Windows 7 PC.
