Hidden Vista Feature

“Checkbox Feature”

For selecting multiple files we generally use the trick of holding ctrl key and selecting items, this becomes little tedious if you’re working with a long list of files. Vista has a check box feature instead of holding ctrl you can use this option. For accessing this option here are the steps:

1 1. Open any System window like My Computer or Explorer.

2 2. Click the ORGANIZE menu on the top left below the menu bar.

3 3. Then select Folders and Search options.

4 4. Next, click on the VIEW tab.

5 5. Now scroll down to the end to see an option Use Check boxes to select items.

6 6. Enable it and click OK.

It’s done. Now whenever you move your cursor over a file you can see a check box appearing at the top left corner, using this you can select multiple files with ease.
