Vista Special Setting - Use Checkboxers with your files

If you are one of those Selection Challenged folks, you will be happy to learn Vista has a setting for YOU!

Instead of trying to remember if you hold the CTRL or the SHIFT key down when you want to select a bunch of files in a row, you can set up your folder view to give you handy dandy little check boxes to make things easier.

Get to the Folder Options Area

Open your Documents folder. Click the little arrow to the right of the word Organize. Select Folder and Search Options and the View tab. Scroll to the bottom of the screen and check the box next to the words "Use check boxes to select items." To make sure you will see check boxes whenever you are in Explorer poking around in your files, click the Apply to Folders button. Click OK to lock in your change. From now on, as you move your cursor in any Windows Explorer window, a check box will appear next to each file. To select a file, check the box. You can uncheck your selections too, if you wish.
