Select multiple items in Windows Explorer (files and folders) without using ctrl key

Selecting multiple items using touch pad often makes us to repeat the same procedure from the beginning when we inadverently click outside the selection which deselects all the previously selected items. It is more difficult when you have a large number of items and you need to scroll the page which most probably deselects the items.

In Windows 7, you have a provision to display checkboxes to all the items such that you can use to select individual items.


The steps to activate this facility:
Go to Start -> Control Panel -> Folder Options

In the Folder Options, go to the View tab and scroll to the bottom till you find the option "Use check boxes to select items".

Check the check box, click Apply.

Now you have check boxes for all your files and folder.
