Make it Easier to Select Files (Vista)

Sometimes Gadget wants to select or open a number of files or folders. That's easy if they're all grouped together - just shift and drag. But suppose they aren't...?

No problem for Gadget, because in Vista you can add a tick-box to all your icons!

Open a folder, and go to Organize, then 'Folder and Search Options'. Move to the View tab and tick the box labelled 'Use check boxes to select them'. Click OK.

And now when Gadget wants to open his top ten choices for dog treat recipes he can select all of them together! (Paws up whoever wants one...)
