Use check boxes to select multiple files



In order to select multiple files for an operation such as copying, moving or deleting in Windows Explorer, we generally, Ctrl-clicking every file you want to select.
But if you're mouse-centric, there's a way to select multiple files in Windows 7 using only your mouse, via check boxes.

 To enable this:
  • In Windows Explorer, click Organize, and then select "Folder and search options."
  • Click the View tab.
  • In Advanced Settings, scroll down and check the box next to "Use check boxes to select items." Click OK.
From now on, when you hover your mouse over a file in Windows Explorer, a check box will appear next to it; click it to select the file. Once a file is selected, the checked box remains next to it; if you uncheck it, the box will disappear when you move your mouse away.
