Marking items in Windows is quite easy. You can mark the adjacent items
by clicking on the starting and ending item while holding the
“Shift” key, and to select non-adjacent items you can click on
individual items while holding the “Ctrl” key. But what if you need to
select many items? Pressing the “Ctrl” key makes the task difficult and
once you release it, all your selections are washed away. So we have an
easy way to mark items in Windows 7 by the use of check boxes.
How To Use Check Boxes In Windows 7 :
1. Open the Windows Explorer and click
on “Organize” on the top right side and select “Folder and search
options” in the sub-menu that appears.
2. Now go to the “View” tab and then scroll down and check the “Use check boxes to select items” option.
3. Now click on “OK” and hover over any of your file/folder and you will
see a check box appearing on the left side of the item. Just click on
the empty box and you will see the item as ticked. You can mark any
number of items without pressing neither the “Shift” nor the “Ctrl” key.
This tips comes really very handy when you need to mark several items in
a single folder. This removes the headache of pressing the “Ctrl” key
for the time you take to mark the items, and the time you waste on
marking the items again and again if you leave the “Ctrl” key by
mistake.
